What are you thankful for?

So, awhile back, I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts, Shrink Rap Radio , and Dr. Dave was interviewing someone who was discussing ways to make people happier. One of the suggestions that was made was to make what I have recently heard referenced as a "Gratitude List" in which you list a few things that you are grateful for each day. Well, I thought that it was a great idea and decided that Clay and I should try it out.

Although it sounds easy enough, it is difficult to add to an already busy lifestyle and although our "Gratitude Lists" did seem to be very fulfilling, we can't seem to keep it up. However, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I thought that I might reattempt my "Gratitude List" routine and share it with my readers. I know that I may not be able to make this a routine blog but I will make an attempt.

So, here is my Gratitude List for today.

1. My wonderful husband.
2. My beautiful daughter.
3. Our dogs who always make life interesting.
4. Our house because even with its idiosyncrasies it is a pretty nice place to live and a perfect location to support some environmentalist actions in a not so eco-friendly town.
5. My family because they are as fun as they are crazy!

And although I'm sure that I could go on, I will save the rest for another day. I hope that my readers will consider joining me in writing a Gratitude List and maybe even share it as a comment here!!!
