The Notion of GRATITUDE

This blog post is dedicated to yourself, and only yourself. We are so caught up in our emotions and thoughts which are induced by our daily experiences that we tend to forget what we have in our lives that are so beautiful.

So my question is: What are YOU grateful for? Most people would response with "many things" yet they will not identify what these many things are.

Let's come together and really FEEL what we are grateful for, because when we are reminded by the awesome things in our lives, we can FEEL this deep energy fueling us to continue doing what we do in our lives and to reach our goals of success, happiness, and so on.

Here goes (in no specific order):
