Making Space for thanks

As I look around the room, I begin to admire the beauty in every piece of art, picture, various items. They all have unique colors and purposes. Just like us as people. Its so easy to find the beauty in everything around us, so often we forget that everything we have inside is all we really need. Think about it, what would you grab on your way out of a burning house. You would take your ass out of that house and kiss the ground once safe. Every moment we get to reach for materialistic things to comfort or even distract us we take it. Why would we do that? Oh , it’s easier, duh! What if we looked inward and found all the treasures that we think we are lacking? We could break the shackles that all the worldly obsessions have on us. I guarantee you will find everything you need right where you are. This year leave everything behind and remind yourself to be grateful for everything that you are. --
