March 24 and the ground is still covered with lots of snow. New snow is falling. ARGHHHH!!!

Now is the Time for a Gratitude Project!

When I find myself complaining about things that I cannot change I know that…

It’s time for an attitude reset!

Who says the weather should be warm and sunny just because it’s been a long, cold and snowy winter?

Who says that I should feel any different than I do?

Who says things should happen any particular way?

I know of no better way to let go of all my mind’s yelling, complaining, and whining than to get very intentional with feeling gratitude.

Here are a few photos of things I’m grateful for today:

Fresh snow looks like someone wrote on the pond ice

Trader Joe's is selling bunches of daffodils for $1.49. What a blast of cheer!

The colors of this blanket in lamplight looked warm and rich

I love this bunch of flowering branches -reminds me that spring will arrive sooner or later.

There is no snow left on the deck! This is was the remnants of today's snow and it too is gone now.

If you’re feeling blue about the weather or anything else that you have no control over, relax, take a few deep breaths, and start your own gratitude project.

For the next 30 days, make a photo of something you’re grateful for. I guarantee it will brighten your days and make you notice how much you have to be grateful for.
