The First Step 

My word for the year is change. The first step I took this year to make changes in my life is I started reading "Simple Abundance A Daybook of Comfort and Joy"

It is a book of daily essays that help a person find perspective in ones life and transform oneself. I found I have become less materialistic. I now have a daily gratitude journal which has shown me just how blessed I am. Pleasure is found in the simple tasks of daily living. 

Today I have found I am grateful for...

1. My family

2. My morning cup of coffee

3. The sun shining 

4. Good by kiss from my husband just before ventured off to work

5. Salad club at work (provides me with a healthy lunch)

 Today I want to challenge everyone to find five things in your day that you are grateful for.
