It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to write a post about gratitude!
Feel free to click here (or below) to learn more about our Gratitude Project.
Okay – now for today’s post:
Happy June!
Today’s post is about keeping a gratitude list.
There are so many ways you can do this – and you get to decide what feels best for you.
Some will choose to have one notebook (like our I Am Grateful For… book) that is designated to hold list upon list of all that you love about your life. Some may keep this list on their computer. Others may just tell their loved ones around the dinner table each night what they are grateful for.
It’s completely up to you!
You may choose to write a gratitude list every day, once a week, or whenever the mood strikes.
And that’s completely okay!
When we focus on gratitude and everything that is going right in our lives, our thoughts end up attracting more positive events and feelings. This is the kind of snowball effect that we can welcome with open arms!
So let’s all take some time today to write our gratitude list.
And then continue this practice when it feels right.
Here is mine:
I am grateful…
that I have a great start on writing my new book: 50 pages written so far, and an outline for the rest!
for self-care days – staying in my pjs all day, lying around, reading, and doing exactly what I want to do – whatever that may be.
that today is one of my self-care days!
for healthy green smoothies.
for a loving husband who supports me in everything I do.
that things seem to slowly be working themselves out between our new kitty and the older one who likes to bully her.
for sun showers – beautiful and refreshing.
that my sweet Biddle cat is such a mama’s boy – perfect for every day, but especially a self-care day.
that I am keeping my word and not working during this sabbatical.
for so many exciting possibilities and opportunities on the horizon.
for our local library – I am constantly amazed by their wonderful selection of books.
for all of your wonderful comments and feedback about this blog.
for a supportive community that understands that going within and taking care of ourselves is crucial for lasting happiness and finding our way in this world.
In gratitude,
Jodi
This is a great idea – I should really put one together in order to remind myself on those "tough" days all of the great things I have that are going on. Thanks for sharing your list!
I'm so glad you're here, Patty! Thank you so much for the encouragement! 🙂
