September 21st is “World Gratitude Day” and its history dates back to 1965 in Hawaii when an international gathering decided that it would be a good idea to have one day per year to formally express gratitude and appreciation for the many wonderful things to be found in the world. Following the meeting in Hawaii, many attendees marked Gratitude Day on 21st September 1966.
Today, I’m grateful for the beauty of the change of seasons. What are you grateful for today?

💐 Today marks the beginning of “National Thinking of You Week” and I can’t think of a better way to let someone know they are being thought of than by sending them a personal, handwritten note!
In a world full of instant text messages and e-mails there are so many benefits to writing a personal note:
📝You’ll brighten someone’s day – It’s such a special feeling to open the mailbox and find an unexpected note from a friend or loved one. When someone takes the time to pick out the right card, write out a personal message, stamp and address an envelope and then drop it in the mail, it demonstrates to the receiver they are important, appreciated and cared about.
📝It’s good for your own health – There are a couple of ways it’s good for your health. First, the act of writing is a therapeutic and calming stress reducer. Another positive health benefit is the act of doing good for others.
📝 You create a lasting memory – Notes are permanent keepsakes (and a piece of history) from loved ones long after they are gone. So what are you waiting for?
Go ahead and grab that pen and paper and get started today!

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is to just try one more time.” ~Thomas Edison
How many times have you come close to giving up on something but then decided to give just one more try and then found yourself succeeding? I know I have🙋♀️.
I’ve also witnessed this first-hand with our 8 year old granddaughter, recently. She is a very good horse rider/whisperer. She excels at this beyond her years. But, one of her horses, a rescue horse, is very frisky and doesn’t really like to be ridden.
But, with the help of her father and a strong determination to gain the trust and confidence of the horse she set out to conquer both hers and the horse’s fears. She must have tried 3 – 4 times to get on the saddle. With each and every try and her father by her side, the horse and the rider began to bond and soon trusted each other.
The triumph really paid off the next week at horse camp when she was the only rider (and probably the youngest) who was able to control the one of the more mature (and larger) of the horses! ❤
What are you trying to succeed at? Don’t give up….keep giving it “just one more try.”
Cheers!

“Live simply so others may simply live.” ~Mother Teresa I’m channeling a little bit of Mother Teresa, today. She had so many beautiful quotes about life, but especially about living a life not for ourselves but for others. How do you live simply, so others may simply live?

“Kindness is loaning someone your strength instead of reminding them of their weakness.”
There are so many areas in our lives where we have the opportunity to show kindness to others by using our strengths to help them overcome a situation.
Do you know someone who could use your strength today instead of being reminded of their weaknesses?

“Without rain, nothing blooms. Learn to embrace the storms in your life.” ~unknown
While not all storms are created equal they do serve a necessary purpose in our lives. They break us down, they nurture us and we grow from the process. Are you embracing your storms?
