Looking for blessings

Practice looking for the beautiful blessings in each and every day, and never take any good thing -- big or small -- for granted. Life is full of miracles. ~Karen, from WayPoints by Karen Burch

I found this quote on facebook and thought I would reflect on it today.  For the past year or so I have been writing about gratitude - recognizing  and appreciating all the wonders gifted to us by the universe.  What struck me with this quote was that we must go beyond recognizing and being grateful for  blessings, but we must also look for them, seek them out.  It is an active, inquisitive, expectant process -  eyes wide open, searching for the blessings, miracles and gifts.  Like a child  eagerly looking for those Easter eggs which may be hidden from the common view.  What a wonderful way to experience life - full of expectancy and gratitude.  Now that is an attitude shift for most of us!

In gratitude for  miracles, be they big or small,
