Life can be so busy! There are so many responsibilities, expectations, and opportunities to pursue. And these are multiplied with children, spouses or life events. Sometimes just trying to get the items on the checklist checked off, seems to become the focus...but what about enjoying the moment? 

Sometimes I have felt that I can barely gasp for air in the middle of my "to dos”.  That is when I learned to count my blessings. GRATITUDE brings JOY! I know that one of my main purposes of life is to have JOY! So, the next time that you feel overwhelmed, try GRATITUDE. Count your blessings and see if joy fills you up. My daughter once counted her challenges…hmm…I’m still pondering on that one….

1-God, 2-family, 3-health….
