Gratitude
Gratitude may be a big word with big implications but gratitude doesn't have to be just about the big things. A life borne of gratitude for the small things paves the way for lives full of the big things to be grateful for.
In other words, the more you are grateful for the small things the more big things will come into your life to be grateful.
Yes, I'm saying that being grateful for the shoes you wear could potentially bring about being grateful for the yacht you own in the future.
How can this be?
Being grateful for everything regardless of its size or status fills your life with gratitude and it reflects outward and pulls things to you. They say that you aren't dealt anything bigger than you can handle so if you keep handling these small things with gratitude then you'll continue to reel in the big things and the rewards will continue to come because you can handle it.

To me it is not about being grateful for all things, but about maintaining a grateful attitude no matter what comes down the pike. Love your post. found you on ravelry in case you are wondering.
Thanks! You are correct - a grateful attitude (or spirit/heart) is key to a life of happiness.
It's hard to be grateful when you get a collection notice on a parking ticket you never received but if you look at the fact that you have the options in life to handle it (pay it or fight it) gives you perspective.
