I
hope I will maintain this habit of daily reflection and gratitude. It really
puts things in perspective. I hope you had a wonderful time doing the day to
day gratitude list and I hope there was a fundamental shift in your life for
simply doing it.
Am
ready for autumn, I have an incurable obsession for sweaters so my excitement
has reached an all time high.
Keep
your hearts open, your hands open and keep expectant. I truly believe that
something good is going to happen to you and something good is going to happen
through you . Make this part of your daily mantra. Until next time.
All
my love.
Your
mind friend.
