Gratitude

Often in our busy lives we get so caught up in the tasks and stress of the day. Work, school, chores, commitments, relationships, and much more take up our focus and we forget to be grateful for what we have. Our mom however is the best at bringing it back into focus and when we were little she always taught us that even in the worst stressful moment, there is something to be grateful for and to stop and think about it.

Oprah Winfrey talked alot about gratitude on her show, and how at the end of the day it is important to stop and be grateful. It changes your persepective, attitude and mood.

So today we give you:
