Gratitude Lists
As per the first reading delivered in my inbox; here is a list of things I am happy about from yesterday, or grateful for:
Remember - it is supposed to be less than obvious -
1. I was able to get my baking done, gifts for others
2. that my teenaged daughter wanted to help me with the baking
3. that I had the motivation to take kids to Sunday school
4. that it occurred to me that I need a new attitude of gratitude and put forth a plan of action
5. that i was able to start and finish reading a whole article in a magazine - it was a good one too!
6. I got some writing done
7. and that I was in bed at a decent time!
What about you?

Great list. Those small things are remarkably valuable given how busy everyone is these days.
It's a good question. What am I grateful for from yesterday?
1. The machine I wanted to use at the gym was available as soon as I walked in.
2. Soup is easy to make (especially from a can).
3. I got some work and reading done.
4. My apartment is small so cleaning is easy and fast.
5. Sundays there is no construction on the subway project in my neighborhood. Peace!Dec 15, 2008 1:00 pm

8. I am grateful for friends who are honest. Honesty helps me become a better human being.
9. I am grateful that God answers our prayers and the excitement I feel of waiting for His response.
10. I am grateful that every day is a brand new day and God's mercy is new. We may fail with our words or deeds, but, we can always start over.
