Gratitude List- October 1, 2010

Filed under: Gratitude — gardener @ 9:39 am

With today being the 1st of October, I thought it would be a great time to get back in the habit of creating a daily gratitude list. I want to spend more time focusing on the ‘great’ things going on my life and less time on the things that aren’t. It doesn’t mean I’m avoiding, it simply means that I’m choosing to focus on the positive.

I encourage you to do the same and see what it brings you.

My Gratitude List for October 1, 2010.

Today I’m Grateful For:

  • Desere, for stopping in this afternoon to see how I’m doing.
  • For the friends who have been checking in on me and showing love and support.
  • My brother, who I happen to know is brilliant and wonderful.
  • The love and support of my parents.
  • The leaves falling from the trees and the cool air.

Back to Basics

I was thinking not too long ago about how I used to send cards for everything. I think that I got out of the habit and switched to only sending birthday and Christmas cards when e-cards became so much easier, but I’ve started thinking that maybe it’s time to get back to basics and start sending cards more often. I used to send halloween cards every year to my family and a few close friends, and I think it would be fun to start doing it again. I know I don’t have to do it on the scale that I do when it’s Christmas, but a card every now and then to people that I care about is a great thing.

After all, I know how much I love seeing mail in the box that isn’t a bill, so why wouldn’t everyone else? I think as this year winds down I’m going to start making a list of things that I’d like to change and begin the process now so that when the first of the year comes, it will come easy. I see a lot of things that aren’t working the way I’d like them to in my life, and I know that it means it’s time for change. After all, the only person who can create change in my life- is me.
