We tend to think more on what we should have done, instead of what we have accomplished. All those ‘shoulda’, ‘woulda’, ‘coulda’ seem to take up a lot of our headspace.

Whisper each morning, to yourself, words of gratitude for the things that come to mind at the beginning of the day. As you step forward, say thank you to others for the kindness they offer you, and to others. Show appreciation with your words, and through your actions. At the end of the day, reflect on all you are thankful for; the people, the places, and the possibilities. Say thanks, give thanks, and be thankful today and every day.
