Thanks for your comments yesterday friends! Was inspiring reading your lists. Got a couple of today's thankful things from some of you ;)
10 grateful things for Tuesday:
1) my sight, I can't imagine not being able to see life and the world around me.
2) creativity
3) my hands and feet and brain - they all work.. for the most part ;)
4) music
5) freedom
6) as of last wednesday, new wood floors in our home :)
7) that my mom got through her cancer
8) rain, because I love it oh so much!
9) forgiveness
10) my story - where I am at in life and the journey that got me here.
Okay, this is actually really a lot of fun. I am not struggling with thinking of new things everyday to be thankful for... though I admit I was a bit skeptical and thought it'd be hard to come up with things. If anything, it's opening up a whole new perspective. This guy knows what he is talking about! ;) What are you thankful for today?
I think this is a beautiful new way to look at life & the world. =)
ReplyDeleteI love the positiveness in your post. I love the rain, too, and I also feel glad that your mom got through cancer. Even if I don't know you personally, I just love feeling how you feel. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your mom got through cancer! I hope all is well in that department and always will be!
ReplyDeleteAlso, hard wood floors are one of my favorite things!
I am thankful for Yoga, it clears my mind.
ReplyDeleteThat I survive Life's bumps and flows and can still smile, shake my head and learn. That my sons have become men I truly admire. I actually like to be by myself at times and years ago I would have felt lonely. Reading is a joy to me. People have to very much to give to this world.
ReplyDeleteI love that you are grateful for your life story. I think sometimes I take that for granted the most.

ReplyDeleteI love your last one.. we all have our own unique stories.. and each one is special and full of importance. xo
ReplyDeletetoday i'm thankful for 1: pets and their unconditional love and the joy that they bring! 2: food - there is so much good food in this world and i can literally get giddy when i'm discovering (and enjoying) a new dish. 3: water - not everyone has it in such abundance. 4: hot showers - not everyone has this. i savor EVERY hot shower. how lucky we are! 5: my bed - the ability to fall into a cushy, comfy bed. 6: my church - the support and humility of this "body of Christ" that knows they are not perfect and knows how to have fun! 7: hot coffee - so comforting in the morning and such a luxury. 8: books - so much to read and learn 9: my education - i've been beyond blessed. 10: God's Word (the Bible) for being alive and guiding us today.
