grat·i·tude
/ˈɡradəˌt(y)o͞od/
noun
the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.
I needed to look up the definition because I think I’ve just been going through the motions with everything in my life. I’ve been talking about things I’m grateful for like a laundry list. After reading the definition I realize I have not been living as if I am actually grateful.
Today I will try to be mindful of what it means to live in a state of gratitude.
