Things I am Grateful for (May)
I remember doing this exercise when Oprah introduced it on her show a few seasons ago. She suggested keeping a journal and in it, every day list three things that you are grateful for. I remembered how much I enjoyed doing that, so now I'm going to start again on here. Every month I'll post a "Grateful" list to which everyday that I blog I will add my three new entries to the comments page. Feel free to join me in adding to the list, and sharing what things you're grateful for. It's amazing the things that we take for granted, or that we don't stop to think about all the time. You'd be amazed at how much more positive you start to feel about life in general once you start listing and thinking about what you have instead of concentrating on things you don't.Today I am grateful for having such a wonderful circle of support.
1.My husband is so incredible, he amazes me. He never hesitates to show his love for me, he's so supportive in who I am and encourages me to learn more about myself, and is such a wonderful provider, and will be a great daddy.
2. My amazing family, who even though I have decided to do things differently than they would of liked, still support me 100% in living my own life and making my own discoveries.
3. Great friends. I once made the realization that I am the type of person who would rather have a few really good friends, then to have a ton of mediocre ones. If I call you a friend, know that I mean it, and that I'm so grateful for the wonderful qualities you bring to my life. I appreciate your honesty and caring and hope to always return the favor.
May's list will continue on the comments page...
