moment of gratitude.

just for the sake of putting it all out there.

so grateful today...

for children who are becoming amazing human beings.
for teachers who take time to see what I see in our kids.
for family willing to drive hours for a kids birthday.
for my husband.  he's a hottie.
for a job I get fulfillment from.
for great music and fun podcasts.

NOT grateful for the new reality show The Voice.
I just shaved my legs...goosebumps I'm getting from the show?
NOT HELPFUL.

Come on girls.  You know what I'm talking about.

Peace out girl scout.

december gratitude list

My sister passed on an excellent idea yesterday.

Start a gratitude list on December 1st.
Add 5 things you're grateful for each day until January 1st.

Think it will change your life.
Well.
At least your December.

The thing is-that's a big list and you'll have to get creative!
Up for the challenge?

I'm off to make my day 2 list.
Starting with being grateful there are more than two of you out there reading this!

another list.

It's so easy to get bogged down.
There are jerks, money stress, unpleasant situations,
Did I say jerks yet?
But the reality is, a little perspective goes a long way.

So.
I'm making a list.
(not checking it twice-still have 59 days before THAT list!)
Time for a gratitude list!

I'm grateful for...in no particular order...

• Friends that have become an extension of our family
• Warm socks on a cold day
• Silly kids who are also good human beings
• Vanilla Tootsie Rolls
• Living in a house that I love in Los Angeles, which I love!
• Being the oldest of six very different sisters
• The Warriors opening the season with a WIN
• Tickets to see Stone Temple Pilots tomorrow night
• My faith in humanity
• The endless encouragement of good friends to follow my dreams
• A husband I adore and who adores me.  And likes to snuggle!

Just a little list to start my day.
I found that spending a day in gratitude, on purpose, changes my perspective.  And it could use an adjustment about now!

What are you grateful for?
