Thanksgiving is right around the corner. It is a day dedicated to offering gratitude for, well fill in the blank. It’s good to pause and consider our life from the perspective of appreciation…to take a minute and consider how amazingly we made it to this very moment. All of the twists and turns, ups and downs, and here we are.

But I believe the fullness of gratitude resides in us as a state of mind and a way of being…not just appreciating what we have. It is walking all of the time, through all seasons, with great humility. What it means to be grateful is what it looks like…not what you say or even what you mean. But how it looks and how it feels. I think humility is how gratitude looks. And I think a humble heart is how gratitude feels.

To walk with great humility is to walk conscious of my own limitations and imperfections. To look through the lens of humility and recognize my appreciation for this life and all who are in it…as if exactly the way it is is an incredible miracle.

With a humble heart I can appreciate everything.

Much love
Paula
