Gratitude

i'm posting immediately after another post :) i'm on a roll today.

so when i was in college, i saw an oprah show that talked about gratitude journals. a young girl had somehow lost her life and her mother had found her gratitude journal which was full of all the things her daughter gave thanks for at some point in her life. the story was very touching but was touched me more was the idea of giving thanks for everyday occurences. shortly after, i purchased a small journal and began my own gratitude journal which i continued for about four years. i LOVE to read back through it and read what i had written. often, it takes me back to that very day or reminds me of a trip i was on. that little journal has been many places. then one day i quit. i've no clue why. and i miss it. and i'm resurrecting it. here. today.

so today i give thanks for:
dancing with my dad
laughing while getting ready in the mornings
having heat
impending holiday excitement
writing
reconnecting
hot tea and a well balanced breakfast
trucks that take two to drive them

i plan to keep it up this time.
