GRATEFUL IN ALL THINGS

I've found myself thinking about my childhood. With 6 children to raise, my parents had less than what I have now. Yet, they were the happiest and most generous people I knew growing up. The key is gratitude. To be thankful for all things. How could I forget these simple recipe. We didn't have much so my mom didn't have to worry about organizing and decluttering. I remember she gave away my favorite red skirt and I was so mad. She said that it's too small for me and I haven't worn it for months. I saw the little girl next door wearing it. She was so happy. It made me happy that she was happy wearing my old clothes. Thanks to Mom! I never forget that moment. What a powerful lesson.
