You are rich

In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful,

but gratefulness that makes us happy.

-Brother David Steindl-Rast

Today's quote is a good reminder for me (and hopefully you too!) that joy can be created.  It can be easy to travel through the day, weeks and months without really being thankful for all that we have and experience.  Sometimes it takes a negative experience or loss to refocus us on how little is actually needed to be happy.  If you have physical or mental health - you are already wealthy and rich.  If you have kindness and love in your life from friends or family - you are cherised.  If you have a warm home to live in and food for your body - you are nourished.  If you have books and art and great creativity to enjoy - you have inspiration.  You are suurounded by health, wealth, love, wisdom, energy, nourishment and creativity - how joyous.  What many people call the 'basics' - are the source of much gratitude and happiness.

Wishing you a day filled with wealth and richness.
