The Gratitude List

By Darlene Steelman | Oct 4, 2011 | 5 Comments

A piece of my blog over at http://thedailywoman.wordpress.com/  It is a very versatile blog... :)

 

I just read a tweet from a fellow tweeter. I got the impression she was down in the dumps... she said she felt, "out of sorts." I have felt like that many times in my life (I'm sure most people have). I replied to her tweet and told her to make a gratitude list.Then I thought, "Darlene! You're a genius! You should make one." So I am. Right here, right now.

I am grateful for:

my sobriety

my children

the ability to use all five of my senses

music

the gift of writing

nature

green lights

coffee

my cats

my genes

a sunny day

a Sunday morning

making some one smile

a brand new notebook

that I was born exactly when I was born

Tyler State Park

other people's opinions

tolerance....

These are just some of the things I am grateful for. But, I want to hear from you. What are you grateful for? What makes you say thank you. What helps you through your day?

I love nature, music, thinking, driving, riding my motorcycle, and of course writing. I am opinionated, although I usually keep my mouth shut unless I know I have to speak up. If you google my name, you'll see me all over the place. I am currently working on a novel.

    Darlene, great list! Your blog post has inspired me to write an article about the benefits of gratitude on Triond, one of the publications I write for. Thanks for the reminder! :-) I voted of course.

    Darlene, like Denise, I too, will be writing a gratitude list as well. I will write it down first and then, I will post it on your comment for you to see. Again, I also, thank you for this inspirational thought. God bless you.
