Day Eight

Today's lesson is about the importance of showing gratitude.  This is funny to me because after I completed yesterday's lesson, I got to thinking about things.  Something I remembered that I used to do but hadn't been doing is expressing gratitude.  Forcing myself to think about all of the things I have to be thankful for is absolutely amazing to me!  It makes the things I was worrying about seem so stupid and insignificant.

Today I'm thankful for:
waking up
having a car to drive to work
an empty kitchen sink
my health
Stan going in his crate without giving me a hard time
My orthodontist giving me an earlier appointment
finding a better deal on a purchase I made over the weekend
my clothes were dry even though I forgot to start the dryer when I first woke up
my son is building my real estate website and it will cost 1/5th of what I originally expected
remembering to refill the toilet paper in my half bath
strawberry cheerios for breakfast
having well behaved, well adjusted kids

What I love about showing gratitude is after I spend a few minutes thinking about all of the things I have to be thankful for, I feel empowered, confident and secure.  I feel like I can do/be/have anything.  I love it!
