Starting again and again

Every day is a new day, a new chance to be grateful.

1. I am grateful for mornings, especially this morning.
2. I am grateful for my home.
3. I am grateful that a nagging problem has been resolved.

Friends abound

Today I am thankful for...

my friend Kathy, we haven't known each other very long but she is open and kind and shares her feelings and appreciation

my lovely swimming pool surrounded by tropical plants

my friend Lisa, she always inspires me

It's about family

Today I am grateful for:

• My in-laws - they really love me
• My sisters and how we keep in touch and how we have grown
• My husband, his enduring cheerfulness and love

Growth

Today I am grateful for:

• meditation
• realizing I can let go and not have to be 'right'
• my gorgeous garden and all the plants 
• my lovely sister

A new start

I have had on my self-improvement spreadsheet 'gratitude' since the beginning of 2014. I haven't checked the box yet. Today I will. Partly I didn't know how to do it. Partly I was too busy. Partly I didn't believe it mattered I suppose. But month after month I had that column in my spreadsheet. So today I am doing something about it. I remembered this blog from years ago and thought this might be a good and easy way to check off the box. Here goes.

I am grateful for...

my health
my husband and our life together
my job and my career
my willingness to make a new start each day
