Each day we give thanks for what we have in our lives, but do we every truly NOTICE all of the good things which surround us? I have been struggling with my sadness for those who are less fortunate and in the same sense I've been truly paying attention to what I'm surrounded with.Good Things:
*A child's laughter
* My warm home
* Delicious food
* My puppy's kisses
* Hot Chocolate
* Music
* Flowers and Huge oak trees
* Comforting bubble baths
* Television and wonderful movies
* Beautiful scenery
* Butterflies
* Angel Statues
*Christmas lights
* Unconditional Love
My list could go on and on, but I'd like to know what nice things are YOU surrounded by?
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion to clarity...Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
- Melody Beattie
I'm Grateful For:
*This Life - *That I'm So Deeply Loved - *Patience - *Beauty Of The World - *Kind Hearted People - *Beautiful Music - *My Inner Child - *Family - *That I Was Guided To Each Of You
Oh my gratitude list is long!

ReplyDeleteHi Tabby,
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful list of "good things". Mine would include:
my family (wife and kids)
my health
heat in the winter
safe neighborhood
running shoes
my blog
my online and offline friends
safe drinking water
...the list could go on and on. These are just a few, and writing them down really makes me realize how much I really do have - many of which I take for granted.
Tabby, thank you for helping to remind me of all the good I have in my life! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I am really grateful that I have new friends...and you are among them dear Tabby, what a blessing you are to me :)
