November: Month of Thanks

 

Many of my friends have started posting on Facebook…one thing they are thankful for every day for the month of November.

I think giving thanks every day is crucial. I try, often not successfully enough, to be grateful and thankful for something every day. I kept a gratitude journal for some time where I wrote five things I was grateful for at the end of each day. It isn’t a habit I kept, but I did like the focus on the positive.

So, while I don’t know if I can commit to the one thing a day on Facebook idea, I do know that I will use this time to be more grateful.

In the spirit, I will offer my gratitude journal list, five things that I am grateful for today….

#1- Shaunessey and Ryan.  Always my first of every list I write, including at times the shit list.  I am grateful for them, for their health, for their spirit, for their talents, for their love, for them being THEM.

#2- My health.  I am working on it, but overall, I am a lucky adult.

#3- My friends and family.  I have an amazing network of outstanding people that support me, even when I don’t deserve it.

#4- The interwebs.  I am so lucky to be connected to so many amazing people via the interwebs.

#5- Dance.  The only thing in the world that still and always has had the power to completely envelope me and make me forget my pain and feel just GOOD.

Ok. So, let the month of thanks begin.  Share your list below:
