forty seven

praise the bridge that carried you over.

I’ve mentioned several dozen hundred times how I find inspiration on beautiful blogs. my no-negativity friend wrote today about inspiration that she found in the form of a little ruffle-swimsuited, floatie-adorned girl, swimming with her father. I wanted to share a snippet from her post.

however, I do have God and I have gratitude. if there is a secret to the universe it’s gratitude. gratitude is the grown up version of plastic water wings. it will shift you out of a negative mind set quicker than anything I know, so while I was putting on my make-up I counted all the ways and all the people who love me. I listed the many blessings in my life, the innumerable ways God shows his love for me. I filled myself up with gratitude for the way things are right now, just as they are until I was bursting with it and off I went.

let us be grateful. gracious. inspired.

peace.
