Day One: Thankfulness and Gratitude

I read an interesting blog post this morning about the difference between thankfulness and gratitude. Cultivating gratitude will be my primary focus over the course of the next 365 days. I will be practicing yoga to bring that awareness daily toward gratitude and thankfulness, for all that I have--for my family, my children, my friends, my health, my life and this journey.

I have spent too much energy, thought and time on worry and loss. It has not changed the circumstances of my life. Lamenting what should have been. Mourning what has passed. I'm not going to resist those feelings~they are a normal part of the grieving process~but I am going to keep them in check.

It has been said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. It's time for a new tactic--getting out of my head and getting on my mat.
