So have we solved the secret of happiness?

“I believe so” he said
Are you going to tell me?
“Yes. Ready?”
Ready.
“Be satisfied.”
That’s it?
“Be grateful”
That’s it?
“For what you have. For the love you receive. And for what God has given you.”
That’s it?
He looked me in the eye. Then he sighed deeply.
“That’s it.”
(excerpt from the book ‘have a little faith’ by Mitch Albom)

It’s so easy to get wrapped up in life.
Wrapped up in self.
In wanting more.
It’s also easy to forget to see blessings.
To be ungrateful. Unsatisfied.

I have been so guilty of this.
I want with all my heart to be aware of what is right in front of me.
What I’ve been given.

As a family we are going to try to focus on being thankful.
One way we have decided to do this is by making a Blessing Box.
