My ideas usually come not at my desk writing but in the midst of living. ~Anais Nin
There are days when the ideas, and thoughts don’t flow so freely, in fact I sit here for twenty of thirty minutes, before I even put one single word down on my blog. That is not to say I can’t find anything to be grateful for, I have my laundry list which I have posted a few times before. However people wouldn’t find it interesting if I just posted that, in fact I’ve been accused of “phoning it in” when I write those.
I have up to nineteen articles sitting in cue, that I would love to finish writing. But I feel compelled to do these gratitude posts, because they have not only an effect on me, but they seem to have an effect on those who read my blog. I have toyed with the idea to even discontinue them, in lieu of the other articles that I would love to spend more time on, but I think that would be a terrible idea, and yes I am getting to a point.
To simply write a gratitude journal, I could knock it out in literally seconds. But for me, I choose to live an inspired life. I don’t want to just find gratitude in the things that are so blatantly obvious, I want to explore life, and what it has to offer in its lessons, and find gratitude in that. I am greedy, I want MORE of it all from the Universe.
Life is my canvas, and the world is my muse. I am grateful for the inspiration that I receive every day. Some days it is immediate, other days, it takes a bit more work. But the fun is in the challenge in finding it, and then sharing it with you all.
