Cultivate an Attitude of Gratitude

So, this entry is two months late in coming from when I first wanted to write about it. In October, I went up to the Home Plate Diner in Orderville, a little town north of Kanab. Jon and I went with some friends from work, to hear other friends from work sing and play music. As I sat in the diner with a full belly and surrounded by happy people, I realized how lucky I was and felt very grateful for that particular evening. I left that evening feeling very full, as well as fullfilled. It was a pretty small event, but one that left me with a lot of good feelings, which I have been careful to hang on to, and duplicate that feeling of gratitude and joy everyday. My friend Ann sums it up best - her blog is titled my blessed life. That's exactly how I feel!
