Be grateful

Joy is one of the fruits of the spirit and like with all fruits, it must be cultivated over time. I have found that my gratitude practice has gradually become a source of real joy since I started noting the things I am grateful for in my life. I’ve been doing this since November of last year and for me, happiness really is in the details. It is the little things I do or don’t do every day that fill me with love and joy.

Joy comes from within and it is the gift that comes from acceptance of who you are…right where you are, patience with yourself as you grow and evolve and being at peace with the world you live in.

You want more joy? It’s simple. Be grateful.

Be grateful for who you are, where you are, just as you are.
