Today I am grateful to alive... it was a long hard day physically. I know that doesn't sound very Sabbath-y, but I will explain. The thing is, nearly every person I am related to loves hiking and being out in nature. I can't really say that this is something that really resonates with me. But… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 556
