Thankful Thursdays

Happy New Year!

We’re getting back into the swing of things here at the Gratitude Circle.  What a great holiday we had!  It was a great time of rest, relaxation, entertaining, family and all that good stuff!  It felt so great to have an abundance of downtime to rest and re-charge.

I actually became addicted to a series of books during the break. I am what I call a “wanna” be reader.  I intend to read, try, and seem to lose interest or fall asleep-mostly because I read really slow.  My sister-in-law is an avid reader.  She could read a book in an hour and I was always envious of this.  Well, until now–I discovered Twilight right before Christmas and am now on the fourth book in the series.  I’ve been to the movie several times and have had so much fun with it.  I am truly grateful for finding these books and being able to really enjoy them.

I am very excited for the new year ahead and all of it’s promise.

Today I am most grateful for:

• the opportunity of a fresh, new year
• a garage to put my car in so that I don’t have to chisel ice off of it! 
• a growing daughter
• great friends
• perspective
• a manicure and pedicure
• a great pilates workout

Make sure to journal your gratitude daily!  It truly does make a difference.  A few months back I found a wonderful program called the Gratitude Tracker.  It’s basically a digital Gratitude Journal and the best thing is that it’s completely FREE!  A note pops up each day when you boot up your computer for you to log your gratitude.  It pops up just like a sticky note.  Click on the above link and download your free copy.  Let us know what you think, too!
