Gratitude vs. Expectations

When we awake with gratitude in our spirit we have that peace and comfort. 

When we start our day with expectations we have a very different spirit.

A spirit that can be let down and disappointed or never satisfied.

Gratitude in Good and in Bad Times

We start our week with reflection and anticipation.  For many the word Monday alone brings dire and dreadful thoughts.  It is only a day, another 24 hours with a label, called Monday.  Personally I don't start any day with a label unless its a good label, words matter and hearts and plans and goals all matter.  Happy Monday : )!

Some thoughts on gratitude in Good and Bad times.  I love the thought that with out bad times in our lives you would never appreciate all the good times.  You need to have been to the valley of despair to appreciate the beauty of a mountain top.
