From a place of gratitude shift your paradigm

It's a Monday and Monday can be a slog.

With a simple mind shift it can be much more enjoyable.

Instead of having to get up to make my kids breakfast and lunch - I approached it as a gift.  How blessed I have the freedom and time to get up with them, nourish them and see them off to school.  Even if I didn't have to do this each day, I do it because it is my privilege and my joy.

I am grateful that I have a refrigerator full of healthy food, ad more so, a roof over my head where my family can thrive.

I am grateful to have meaningful work that I can do each day that I can also do in sweatpants.

I am blessed to be healthy enough to have the option to exercise today.

I have family who love me for me, friends that listen when needed, dogs to remind me of what is important.

Today, I choose to be present.  To listen with 100% when spoken to.  

It's this little paradigm shift that will certainly make a difference in my day and also in the lives of those I touch.
