~~Wear blue on Wednesday for Gratitude!
"When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in." -Kristin Armstrong
Gratitude is the feeling of thankfulness; the state of feeling grateful; a readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.
Gratitude is mindful thankfulness even when things are challenging.
