A New Gratitude List

There’s not a lot of time this morning, but I want to start my day off with gratitude and writing.  I’m extremely grateful for the following:

·      That every day is a second chance

·      That I have people in my life who will correct me when I’m wrong

·      That I have people in my life who will still love me when I’m wrong

·      That life is a gift

·      That life is a constant opportunity for growth

·      That life is a constant opportunity to exercise the gifts we’ve been given

·      That every time I work on my Purpose I am participating in creation

·      That I have a Muse

·      That we all have a Muse

·      That my Muse is the best

·      That every day is the beginning of a new year

·      That every day is an opportunity to reinvent myself

·      That every day is an opportunity for growth

·      That the very act of moving towards self-growth, even the smallest one is growth itself

·      That growth, while difficult and while requiring time, attention and energy, is always a good thing

·      That the need for growth proves that we are alive and will probably be alive for quite a while

·      That working late into the night, whether in a conversation about the relationship or writing or studying or painting or exercising or learning a new and better way to do things is worth the loss of a little sleep and will guarantee a better night’s sleep that night and for many nights to come

·      That late night work is not required every night

·      That sleep is a wonderful gift

·      That while it may not always seem like it, there are usually more good days than bad

·      That every day is an opportunity to change our orientation about life and realize how much we’ve been given

·      That gratitude itself is something to be grateful for

·      That time is precious and short, but that we still have a lot more of it than we realize

·      That things really aren’t as bad as they seem most of the time

·      That the way we talk about events can shape the events themselves and I can change my language to be more positive

·      That there really are very few disasters in life

·      That most events, even the difficulties, especially the difficulties, can really be the gateway to something wonderful if we allow it

·      That God did not create the worst events in our lives, He is present with us and is in pain with us

·      That God loves us, each of us, no matter what our belief system

·      That God is more interested in seeing us develop our faith rather than our beliefs

·      That every day is an opportunity to Get Started and to Keep Going.

·      That I got to write this morning

·      That I remembered to be grateful

·      That while it is time to go and while I have things to do, it is good to have places to go and things to do.
