Hi,

This is Teresa Conte and welcome to day four of 30 days of gratitude to inspire and uplift you.

Today I'd like to share a quote by Henry Ward Beecher.

He says,

Let the thankful heart sweep through the day and as the magnet finds the iron so it will find in every hour some heavenly blessings.

And now a thought to ponder.

Life is filled with wonder.

When we wake each morning and treat life as an adventure rather than just an ordinary day,

A myriad of opportunities present themselves for our delight and pleasure.

I invite you to close your eyes and imagine yourself lying in bed as you awake in the morning,

Allowing yourself to take a few extra minutes before rising to breathe,

Relax,

And prepare for the day.

Then,

With a sense of openness and curiosity,

Ask yourself the question,

What's possible today?

Trust your inner guidance to provide you with the answers.

Some may seem natural or routine.

Others may even surprise you.

Notice how you feel as each idea presents itself.

For instance,

Do you feel a sense of lightness,

Heaviness,

Excitement,

Or depression?

Take note of the ideas and act on the ones that lift you up and inspire you.

When you're ready,

Take a breath and open your eyes.

Repeat the process each morning,

Following through on the ideas that resonate and feel right to you.

Then,

In the evening,

Take a few moments to acknowledge yourself for the actions you took that day.

Wake each morning as if you're embarking on a new adventure.

View the world with fresh eyes and look beyond what you've seen before.

As you continue to ask what's possible,

Life will open new and beautiful doors.

Even the ordinary is extraordinary.

Wishing you a most wonderful day.
