Grab the Experience

I am reading a book called The Gratitude Diaries (thank you Jennifer).... 

It has been an interesting journey following the author’s story. 

There have been “seasons” that cover certain topics on her journey. We started in winter.

I am currently in spring. Which includes money, career, and the stuff we own.

There was discussion over experiences versus stuff…..

She had come to a realization that a few of her possessions did make her grateful. 

She owned several pieces of art that she would walk past in the morning and would stop to look at and always brought a smile. 

It occurred to her that art was an experience.

This statement caught my attention. Art was an experience.

She gave several other examples of how a possession of something was an experience. 

It was interesting to read. In print. 

Black and white.

I wasn’t sure if I would have described owning the wonderful pieces of art I have collected as bringing gratitude, but I would definitely describe them as an experience. For myself.

Every time I walk by and see them. 

Grab the experience when something catches your eye. We should always be looking for gratitude.

Happy holiday to each and every one of you. I am eternally grateful for you.
