The Importance Of Gratitude

We go about our life everyday, rushing around - running to the next appointment or drop off.
Work, life, family...the days and months go by in a blur and before we know it, it's the end of another year.
How much do we really think about what we are grateful for?

My birthday almost 3 years ago. Pregnant with baby #3. 

I started a gratitude journal a couple of years ago (My friends from church came up with this idea!).

It was simple - write down something you are grateful for every day. It could be a beautiful sunrise, an extra 10 minutes of sleep, a manicure, extra time with your husband, etc.

Soon you will have a whole journal filled with beautiful thoughts. Wonderful things that you are grateful for.

I'm so grateful!

We all have our hiccups in life - crap happens. Life isn't always beautiful and rosy, but despite that - there is still so much to be grateful for.

I encourage myself and you, my friends - grab a journal (it doesn't have to be fancy!) and write down one thing that you are grateful for today. Soon, you will have a beautiful collection to look upon and cherish.

I have two things to share today:

1. I am so grateful for my loving family

2. It is so amazing to be a runner and I truly love it. I am so grateful for a good knee!!

There are so many reasons why today's run should not have happened. 2 of my kids were up last night asking if Santa would know where our new house was. The moving truck is coming at the end of the week and I still have a million things to do. Add to the fact that it is still blazing hot here (!!) ----> it would have been so easy to skip my run today. This is where you push through the hard part and get it done. 5 miles in the heat and I am pretty psyched about it!! Now off to finish my never ending to do list! 🙌🏃🌞Natrunsfar.com🙌🏃🌞 #boom #getitdone #noexcuses #justdoit #run #runner #marathonrunner
