Gratitude...finding peace in the moment

November. Step outside and take a good look around. Do it now, before you get all caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Clear your mind and for a few moments, just forget about your worries, anxieties, and fears. Look past all the "stuff" obscuring your vision. Can you see it?  I mean, REALLY see it?  Look more closely. It could be quite small, something you would never have noticed at any other time. I know it's there. Just exactly what "it" is depends on you. But when you find it you will know. Something inside will whisper peace to your soul and for that moment at least, all will be well. That's what gratitude does. It brings peace and a sense of true contentment. So look around, and find peace in the moment.
