When life is busy and stressful, as it has been lately, I like to dig in when it comes to practicing gratitude whenever possible. That’s usually easiest early in the morning.
Today I am thankful for yesterday’s beautiful sunrise which is pictured here. It was well below twenty and so I could see my breath as I carried out the trash and readied to leave for the day. I was grateful for an effective defroster in my new car and for the sturdy scraper that allowed me to clean my windows efficiently.
I’m thankful for the book I’m reading – a fascinating piece of non fiction gifted to me by my fella – which I will write about soon. If you enjoy book culture and history, you may find it interesting as well.
I’m thankful for grilled cheese and tomato soup and for Pillsbury refrigerated cookie dough which make warm and happy companions on a cold, windy night.
I’m thankful for twinkle lights and Christmas trees, for warm throws and for colorful pjs.
As always, I’m thankful for the good job that allows me to have these creature comforts and that helps me give my cat the life he believes he deserves. His tastes are rather refined for a former street urchin.
Your turn! What are you thankful for today?
Fabulous sunrise shot! What a wonderful way to start the day. Grilled cheese and soup is one of my favourite comfort foods. I’m thankful for a cozy blanket, hot cup of tea and to be nice and toasty warm inside, especially since we now have some snow. I’m also thankful that I’m able to take a long maternity leave and spend this time with my daughter who is now nearly one.
Wonderful list! That is a long leave. How wonderful for you all!
Great details. For me, today, that I finally managed to catch up with my sis in NZ to confer re Xmas (the little family arrives boxing day) so I now have a list and the stress seems to have evaporated (somewhat). My bus is on time, and I intend buying some silly Xmas glasses for my visitors, and soup for me before work. Hey the bus is moving forward n so am I. X
Fabulous reasons to be thankful!!! Forward is the right direction and it’s way more fun with some silly glasses!
That is a beautiful sunrise! I have so much for which to be thankful. I’m thankful my husband makes the travel trailer bed each morning – that is a workout! I’m thankful for a large glass of iced tea which gets me going each day. I’m thankful for a handwritten note card I received yesterday from a fellow volunteer at our last gig. I’m thankful we are going out to breakfast this morning. And I am thankful for creativity – for I enjoy being creative and I enjoy the products of others’ creativity.
So many good things! Is there anything more decadent than letting someone else cook your breakfast?
Beautiful sunrises really are the best part of any day! I was grateful for a nice mountain bike ride today with warming weather, not a cloud in sight.
That sounds wonderful!
Wonderful!
