HAVE AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE

Make a conscious effort to seek the good in all situations.

Yesterday, my husband and son raked up the massive amount of leaves in our front yard (boo!), but in the process, they found my car registration that I had dropped and lost (yay).  Raking leaves is definitely something to complain about (it was the trade off for me doing all the outside lights and Christmas tree), but in doing it, something good came from it. . .besides a much prettier front yard.

That is how being grateful works. Seeing good, brings about good.

These ‘Healthy Habits’ encompass habits for the mind, body, spirit, and one’s perspective of life—in order to LIVE BRIGHT.  You may wish to implement the habits each week (if so, I encourage you to download the Healthy Habits Assessment form). Or, the week’s habit can simply serve as a journal prompt or something to ponder.  It’s up to you. I do hope you will check in each week.]
