Gratitude Journal- 8/7/10

Getting back into an old, healthy habit. When I remember what I have to be grateful for, I feel happier and less stressed. So each day I will post ten things I am grateful for. Consider this my 365 day project. 365 days of gratitude...

Today I am grateful for:

1) Tomorrow is Sunday. That gives me a day before work to clean, do laundry and try to prepare for the week ahead. Sometimes it’s nice to know that when your “to do” list rarely shrinks, you have another day to accomplish something.

2) My son has a smile that lights up his whole face when something makes him happy or amuses him. It makes me smile in return.


3) My home. It definitely needs work, decluttering and updating but is large enough for us, has a place to garden should we choose to and is a place I could be proud of if I put some effort in.

4) My daughter is growing to be a kind and intelligent young lady and I enjoy her company. She kind of “gets me” and in all is a sweetheart.

5) My job has been fantastic. I work with great people and am always challenged. Plus I get to challenge others too.

6) Fun hats- I like hats, I really do. And sometimes I look good in them too!





7) Laughter- I love to laugh. It makes me feel removed from my stress. Even when I’m very mad with Vin, he can make me laugh. Comedies are my favorite movie genre. Friends who make me smile are who I choose to surround myself with.


8) Coffee- yup, enough said! (I treated myself to an “oh so unhealthy” breve last night. Heaven!)

9) Getting my writing self into gear again and being determined to take it as far as I can!

10) I believe I have a very talented husband. He amazes me with the variety of mediums he works in. I am very proud of him and love his work! This month he has a photography solo art exhibit in a virtual format at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=101910793199805 . His full gallery sets can be found at http://www.vincentjamespia.com/
