I found myself in a place of drabness the other day; I was cleaning, rearranging furniture, making room for Christmas. But I should not be making room for Christmas ; Christmas should be in my heart everyday, and it is, it just gets lost sometimes.
So, I made my morning cup of coffee, wrapped myself in a wool blanket and sat outside on the deck with my dog Jack. I haven’t taken a moment to relax like this for a couple of weeks and Jack looked grateful to take up the routine again. When I sat down in the chilly, December air I could feel the stillness of Mother Nature surround me. A light breeze from the hilltop; winter birds singing; Jack’s steady breathing, my little piece of a very big world bringing me back to center, thankful for this beautiful day.

Find That Joy And Happiness In Life Which Comes From A Life Of Giving As Well As Receiving
At the end of each day, stop for a few moments and see if you really have been grateful for all that has taken place and have voiced your gratitude, for all the little things as well as the big things. Without gratitude given and received, all the joy and sparkle goes out of life. So if you feel you have had rather a dull drab day and it has been all work, work, work, you may be sure you have failed to give thanks for the many things which have cropped up during the day. You have been too self-concerned to think of anyone else or to see My beauties and My hand in everything. In fact you have missed LIFE, not been aware of Me and of My Divine Presence. Rectify this as quickly as possible and find that joy and happiness in life which comes from a full and grateful heart and a life of giving as well as receiving. Wake up out of your slumbers and take nothing for granted ever again.
