- Yesterday I had a good on plan day - I am so grateful.

- my mom, stepmom, aunt (my seniors) are all doing well and active

- I don't think the groundhog is living under our deck this time

- my son has stepped up to take more and more responsibility in his job & it is appreciated

- my 2 1/2 year grandson said to me on the phone: "Love oo, B" (he calls me B) My heart just melted.

1. My wonderful, amazing, hard working, supportive hubby.
2. I found snickerdoodle flavored coffee.
3. I have wonderful health care coverage.
4. Jillian Michaels
5. An Echo in the Bone from Diana Gabaldon is FINALLY out.

I think I will copy these to a small notebook and start a gratitude journal of my own.

Today i am grateful for:

1) The sun is out and it's a beautiful day even though it's getting colder everyday, the trees are all yellow and it snowed up the Dempster Highway this past weekend.

2) My mind, I'm attending the National Learning Disabilities Conference (going down tomorrow) so I can take some lectures/presentations on Advocacy.

3) Wonderful friends who give a damn and are there for me.

4) My children are doing very well and my 3rd Grader has an amazing teacher this year who is working closely with us to help Kale reach his potential.

5) My creative mind, last night for my writing workshop. We are workshopping my piece tonight, I'm nervous and excited about it.

~ My husband. theres not a day goes by that i dont thank my lucky stars that found a man like him.

~ my beautiful and healthy son. he is so funny and thankfully is never sick.

~ being in a financial position to be able to stay at home with my son. some days it drives me crackers, but i love it really!

~ access to resources on how to feed my family a diet packed with nutrition and flavour.

~ 3FC. i dont post a whole lot, but i have learned so much from the women here. i am not the only one who feels out of control with food and it is possible to lose weight!!!

I count my blessings every day it carries me through many days having the reminder of what I have to be thankful for. But I will say I never thought to write them down.

Great idea !!!!!!!!!

1. I am thankful for my children

2. I am thankful I have a job

3. I am thankful I have a place to live

4. I am thankful to be healthy enough to continue to work.

5. I am thankful that I have a couple ppl I can call friend and mean it.

I wanted to "bump" this up because I think often we spend too much time thinking about the things in our life that aren't the best instead of focusing on what is good and what we are blessed with in this life.

1. I am grateful I remembered to wake up with a positive outlook today

2. I am happy I planted my garlic bed 2 days ago before the rains came

3. I am happy that while I feel overwhelmed financially right now I am still able to keep my head slightly above water...lol

4. I am grateful that my coughing was less last night so I slept a little better.

5. I am grateful my children are all healthy and strong



Ok, now it's your turn. What are you grateful for today ????????

I'm thankful for my grandmother, the strongest 90 year old woman I've ever met in my entire life. She has undergone two surgeries in the past week, and she's recovering beautifully. I love her :]
