It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to write a post about gratitude!
Feel free to click here (or below) to learn more about our Gratitude Project.
Okay – now for today’s post:
A writing prompt from
We all make choices every day in our lives.
Which choices have you made that you are the most grateful for?
These choices could range from big ones that impacted your life drastically (such as where to live or who to be in a relationship with) to small ones such as what to have for lunch or what music to listen to at any given moment.
While the big choices are sometimes the super stars and the ones that get noticed, you may be surprised at how the little choices can add up quickly and have just as much of an impact on your life.
Let’s say you like going for walks, and you usually take the same route each day.
And then one day you decide – just on a whim – to take a different route.
And while on this route you meet someone that you hadn’t seen before and wouldn’t have seen if you had gone the other way.
And you introduce yourself and begin a conversation with this person who you instantly feel like you know.
You find that you had an instant connection, and you begin a friendship that will quickly become more and turn into a lovely marriage.
This is how Dan and I met – all because I made a choice to walk a different route.
We are constantly making choices in our lives.
Some big. Some small. And some small that turn into big.
Take some time today to think about some of the choices that you have made.
It’s easy to be grateful for the choices that have led you to your ideal life, but also try to find gratitude in the choices that didn’t seem to go as well as you would’ve liked.
What did you learn from these choices?
How have you grown?
How are you grateful for them today?
It’s amazing that we all have the power to choose.
I am grateful for that.
And if we choose one path that doesn’t feel quite right,
we can choose to take a different path.
The choice is always ours.
