Gratitude ... Reverse Bucket List

Every day I spend a few moments listing the things that happened the previous day that I am grateful for.  It helps me to realize just how wonderfully abundant my life is.  Even despite any challenges that may be going on.

Yesterday I was browsing through photos and I realized just how many amazing things I have had the opportunity to do in life!  So many things I have already been able to check off my bucket list.  So grateful!
