365 Day Gratitude Challenge-Day 1 January 1, 2016

DAY 1/365 gratitude challenge. I am taking on a challenge to document gratitude each day for a full year.
This just will be something that will allow me to grow at an even deeper level and become more mindful of gratitude for all things big and small in life. Not only will I create something that allows me to profoundly changed my perspective on life, the act of doing it instilled in me a habit of choosing to see the positive over the negative. I hope by witnessing me take the time every day to record, without fail, something worth appreciating, someone else struggling will find hope and begin find beauty in the difficult times in their own daily lives.
Today I am grateful for love. All kinds of love. Love that surrounds me and I feel and receive. Love that becomes deeper due to struggles that it overcomes. Love that see's past human imperfections. Love for my life partner. Love for my children. Love for my friends both long term and others that have passed my path for only a moment but, have touched me with their love. Love for my pet. Love for my family members. Love for those that have died but left love as their legacy. Love from the food and water that sustains me. Love from nature that surrounds me.Ultimate love that is from something deep inside each and every one of us~ that originates from Creator. This feeling of love we remember deep in our soul and drives us to do many things-often destructive trying to find what is missing. Drugs, relationships, thrill seeking behaviors when in reality there is nothing external that can fill this empty space but, we can find it from within if we are willing to do the work.
It's a journey and why is often called the journey from within. As is often said we are all just walking each other home. We are.
With gratitude for love.
