The other thing that was happening this morning while I was out was listening to my daily meditation from Calm. Today’s was about finding gratitude in that exact moment from when you were listening. So there I was in that beautiful morning and here’s all that came to my heart as I reflected in gratitude.

• For the brilliance of the purple/pink light that colored everything
• For the coolness and stillness of the morning as we walked
• That I had looked outside when I did to see the beauty that was emerging
• For Scout bounding alongside me on yet another morning walk
• For my beautiful family (who all happened to still be asleep)
• For a heart that has been transformed to want to seek beauty each and every day
• For the practice of gratitude over the last several years that has changed my life.
• For the redemption and hope in the Creator whose fingerprints are all over the canvas of creation
• For healing and transformation
• For a willingness to open and to share these stirrings
• For another day to be who God has created me to be and to do what God has called me to do.
