Beach Notes by Guest Writer Suzie Cheel
Each morning as I walk on the beach I am reminded of how blessed I am. It is the simple things that help me start my day in an abundant way. This week the tide has been very low and the pool created by these low tides had me meditating on the simple things that make me feel abundant each day.
The beauty of the beach
The clear blue water
The ripples the waves make,
The clear, clean air
The rays of the sun warming my soul
The cool sand between my toes
The patterns in the sand
The rock to meditate on
Shared thoughts with Des
Saying good morning to familiar faces
Smiles from friends and friendly faces
Watching a surfer ride a wave
The feeling of freedom
The wonder of nature
Each morning I find at least 10 things to be grateful for. This starts my day in an abundant way.
What do you do to start your day in an abundant way?
My son and I wake up before anyone else. Every morning he reminds me how lucky I am.
Hi Writer Dad,
Thanks for sharing. That is so wonderful
Each night, before I go to bed, I journal about three things that I am grateful for. Three things does not sound like alot; I am certainly grateful for many, many more…I do, however, write out those three things in such detail, that they also become a “memory” for me. I love filling up my “memory bank” with “gratitude” 🙂 🙂 🙂
I haven’t really established a daily routine of gratitude but in the back of my mind is the sentence, “What if today were your last?” That keeps me grateful.
