Today is November 1st and in just a few (short) weeks we will be celebrating Thanksgiving. Many on Facebook have announced they are celebrating the month with 30 days of gratitude and posting each day what they are grateful for. I love the idea and thought I would take it up a notch and expand my recognitions of gratitude each day for the next 365 days.
Everyday I find many experiences, people, and material things that I am grateful for. This is an easy task for me. For me, the glass is ALWAYS half full. I am hopeful that this new venture will open my eyes wider, but more importantly, provide insight into the world using only a positive lens-something I hope more people will try to incorporate into their daily lives.
OK…….without further ado. Today, was a wonderful day that consisted of encouragement from coworkers. After a challenging week, I’m grateful for coworkers who understand and provide comedic relief. I’m blessed to work at a company that encourages self-care and teamwork that supports that.
Today, I spent the afternoon watching a movie with my Grandpa. He is almost 93 and I know my time with him is limited. Our favorite activity-watching movies and today’s choice was Dancing with Wolves. A great movie but more grateful for the time to share a wonderful movie and a little dinner with a such a marvelous man.
What were you grateful for today?
a soul that smiles 
I love it!! Thank you for sharing!!! You took some words right out of my mouth!
I love this and that you are a glass is half full kind of person! Today, I am grateful that it’s the weekend. I am still feeling cruddy so it’s nice to be able to hang out with my family and chill out on the couch if I need to.
