Gratitude- January 11

Filed under: Gratitude — gardener @ 10:45 am

Even though I may not be sharing them here every day as of yet, I really am trying to spend this year focused on the positive and that includes living a life of gratitude. I find that if I spend my time focused on the good things in life, then I have far less time and inclination to focus on the negative.

I challenge you to do the same.

My Gratitude List for January 11, 2010.

Today I’m Grateful For:

  • For having the courage to get out on the ice and slide like a kid.  (Thanks mom)
  • Morning cuddles with both Mister M. and J.J. 
  • The wonderful coffee that Marcel brewed us this morning.
  • Free coffee at the grocery store that I can drink as I shop.
  • Snow and frozen canals.

Just Doing It!

It’s the beginning of a new week and I can already tell it’s going to be a great one. Yesterday, I did something that I’ve never done before in my life- I walked on a frozen canal. Yes, I know it doesn’t seem like much, but trust me, for someone who has never walked on a frozen canal or any other body of water, it’s a big deal.

I wanted to slide on the ice but didn’t dare. After much encouragement from mom, I decided to stop being silly and just do it. The worst that could happen would be that I would fall and break my leg, arm or something else, but life would go on.

I’m happy to say that I DID do it, and I didn’t fall, or even almost fall. I loved it and I found myself wanting to learn how to ice skate. Marcel recorded it, so once I get it uploaded, I’ll share.

Do it today people- you never know when tomorrow won’t come, and who wants to live with regrets?
