A few days ago I was looking through an old e mail folder searching for the contact information for the DJ we used for our wedding. I needed the information because one of my very favorite people and best friends is getting married! I can barely contain my excitement!
Of course I got distracted and went through a bunch of e mails from around the time of our wedding, and boy am I glad I had the foresight to save them. The information has already come in quite handy for future brides but the best part; they allow me to reminisce about our special day. One of my favorite things I came across was the speech that Dave and I gave at the beginning of our reception. Reading it had me in tears, happy tears and I loved it. Looking back on our wedding day I am so grateful. Grateful that it was the best day of my life, grateful that I wouldn’t change a single thing and grateful that our families and close friends were able to be there.
Gratitude is defined as thankfulness, gratefulness, or appreciation in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive. I’m feeling pretty grateful these days and I’m soaking it up. Life’s too short to let these moments pass you by. I’m consciously soaking up every single thing I have to be grateful for. Try it; you realize pretty quickly that life is truly great.
Found this quote and think it fits perfectly today:
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”
