I am grateful...

As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, I am more mindful of what a wonderful life I have.  I try to live every day with a grateful heart, but it's sometimes difficult when the stressors of daily living loom large.  Can you relate?

Tokens of Gratitude

I've decided to "practice what I preach," so to speak; I will start (again) a gratitude list where I write down at least three things for which I am grateful every day.  Focusing on what's good in our lives makes us feel a helluva lot better, and makes the difficult times a little easier to tackle.  Changing how we think changes how we behave, and expressing gratitude does just that.  Some days are easier to identify our blessings, others not so much (one day I wrote "I'm grateful for hot water in the shower"...I was reaching on that one).

The Gratitude List

So, here I go...I am grateful for:
1.  my adorable house
2.  family who is healthy, safe and thriving
3.  my two jobs I love so much
4.  my car, Trixie, who gets me where I need to go
5.  the people who read my blog







That felt really good.  I suggest you join in the feel-good revolution, and not only on the third Thursday of November.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday.

QUESTION:  What are you grateful for?
