Readily - day 1

I like to follow the latest trends - and in FB it seems to be using November as a month of THANKS!  Gratitude is an incredible gift for the soul, perhaps even moreso than for those we surround ourselves with.

grat·i·tude/ˈgratəˌt(y)o͞od/

Noun:	The quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.
Synonyms:	gratefulness - thankfulness - thanks - appreciation

I like this.  I also feel it is a quality that I must strive for daily, as I'm so quick to judge - to break down and identify negatives.  How can I learn to be READY to show appreciation?  The answer: learn from others!  Case in point - this Facebook initiative of daily identifying things I am thankful for. 

Today (Nov 1) - I am thankful for the true gift and blessing of my husband.  To have someone in my life that loves me so unconditionally and forgives me so readily, who loves his family deeply, and who trusts in God above all.  I seek to follow after his example in all that I do and say.  And to return his love - 'readily'.
