Being Grateful and Joyful to Start Each Day

#joy #grateful #thankful #happiness

Not too long ago I had the opportunity to visit some of my family members who have chickens. Similar to most chickens at night they go into the coop for protection. What was very interesting to me though is that when it is morning and they are let out of the coop they run out almost trampling each other in the process. They are so excited to start each and every new day. This made me think about myself and how I approach each and every day. I think we all could learn some lessons from the chickens about being energetic to start each day. I know some days will be hard and busy but there are many things to be thankful for each and every day. Just being alive is a gift and we should be trying our best to get the most out of each day we are on this earth. By being present and happy for the time we have we can make the biggest difference. Even though this may seem pretty trivial I think there is something there and an opportunity for us to take.
