The seventh and final day of the Attitude of Gratitude project is here. I won't be blogging anymore gratitude lists for a while, but that doesn't mean I won't be making them for myself. This day started off nice, but ended up rather difficult. It is on days like today that these lists are even more important. It's so easy to be brought down on a hard day. Really difficult to find things for which to be grateful. But when you start to think of those blessings, it is a little easier to face the next day.
I'm glad I have all 140 of these things written down. I know I will be referring back to them often. I might even make a poster for my studio that I can read when I need inspiration.
So here it goes. I am so very thankful that:
1. Cole arrived home safe and sound
2. He reported good interactions with his classmates
3. Jack only throws fits like he did tonight once in Blue Moon
4. Tomorrow is garbage day and they are going to take away A LOT of stuff
5. Karen has Mark to support her during her grief
6. I had an unexpected lunch with a friend today
7. Bella is a really smart dog that obeys most of the time.
8. Have I said Oprah because she has taught me a lot?
9. Chocolate! I can't believe I haven't said that yet
10. All the girls on my tennis team. They made feel welcomed and appreciated since the very beginning. Go JCC Milfs!!!!
11. My family eats dinner together almost every night.
12. we can afford to send our kids to the schools that we think are right for them
13. food in my fridge and pantry
14. Art supplies and art supply stores
15. Scrapbooking. It opened the door to a whole new direction in my life
16. Ranger Industries
17. If a kid needs any type of glue, paint, paper or scissors, I've probably got it.
18. The weather is cool enough to run outside rather than inside on a treadmill.
19. Nike + iPod Running
20. Both Luke and Jack are a part of the Y.E.S. team
Aren't you glad we're done with these lists? I'm glad we did it but also glad that I don't have to think of 20 things every day and stay up late to post (which it seems you do, too!). :) Love your list!
