With an Attitude of Gratitude

There’s nothing like Independence Day to remind you that we have so much to be thankful for.  Not only do we live in a remarkable country chalk full of opportunities, but we are FREE.  Free to practice our beliefs and express our opinions, an indulgence many around the world do not have.  I was also filled with gratitude yesterday while spending time with an amazing group of people I am privileged to call friends.

  I spent the first part of the 4^th with my roommate and her boyfriend having breakfast for lunch and eating a scrumptious fruit pizza that I was inspired to make at 1a.m., and the rest of the day was spent at Hauser Lake with another wonderful group of individuals. We had a marvelous time eating way too much food, riding the Jet Ski and I got to drive the boat!!  It was an extremely liberating experience to not have to stay in one lane or use a turn signal, but do not fear, I was the epitome of caution.

                                See. . . it DOES look scrumptious doesn’t it?  

I am grateful for friends and family not only here, but all over that bring such joy and excitement to my life.  I am grateful for my jobs and the opportunities I have been given that brought me to this very moment.  And now I’m now asking you, what gives you an attitude of gratitude?
