- yesterday I stayed within my plan. Went to a cousin's birthday party at 2pm.
I didn't know it would be dinner. But, I made good healthy choices... I am grateful for the willingness.
- I am feeling comfortable with my strategy for Thanksgiving. Nice to have a plan and folks here that will listen and care.
- Mike and Meg got their new computer yay... should be more pictures coming my way.
- having enough
- all the new children in our family - it's a bright spark
- friends, family, YOU ALL, cell, internet, music, fb
- my watch - I can read it without my glasses on

- less pain than yesterday - grateful for modern OTC medicine
- Pat, a dentist friend, insisted on checking my teeth and mouth - no tooth damage from the fall
- the fence is not dog-proof but Jazz is very cooperative about the lead
- Cathy came and took all the pageant costumes and props off my hands
- although I scratched my glasses when I fell, the "old" ones are just fine
- weather looks reasonable for the next week of travel
- Donna volunteered to take my car for gas and a wash this afternoon
- I have two financial reports ready for the 4:30 meeting this afternoon - one is the current one and one is in case the grant cheques arrive this morning! Silly but I hate presenting "in the red" reports
- being strong and organized - inherited from my mother and grandmothers
These are powerful gratitude this morning. I loved reading them all.
Grateful for...
...not obsessing too much yesterday when I really went off plan. That is an improvement.
...a really nice hug from an old friend - made me realize how long I go without really getting any affection and I just soaked it in.
...no rain yet this morning! If it can just hold a little longer...
...my scheduled massage today.
...a box of books someone gave me.
...that work always lightens up from this week until the end of the year.
I decided not to wait until morning for my gratitude! Maybe just because I feel like I really need it right now.
I am grateful for a small break in the rain in which I could get the dog out.
I am also really grateful for a massage I scheduled for today. It has been so long that I realized I am REALLY out of touch with my body! So strange given the amount of thought that is going into the calories going into it. I realized I am really out of touch with the entirety of its health right now. Very unlike me and probably doesn't entirely make sense. All I know is that I feel a lot more balanced and whole right now.
Very grateful.
Very grateful for all of you and this thread. I love visiting it.
Chloe... I agree - this is a happy place. Gratitude is such a good thing to have in our lives.
- Yesterday was a healthy day - I am so very grateful for every day I muster up some sanity with food.
- our little neighbor stopped by for a visit - she's six and told me about just everything that's happening and more. Very joyful. I am grateful we have a street full of children we get to watch grow up. DH gives them all gum and I give them stories.
- I have a strategy for Thanksgiving
- I fit into a demin dress that was snug before
- friends, family, YOU ALL, fb, internet, cell phone, music
Congrats on the denim dress! I am sure it is very cute.
This morning I am thankful for...
...the Christmas lights I put up yesterday (I know it is early, but this rainy weather demanded them).
...that I didn't lose power last night
...for my mom, as strained as our relationship may be
...for my creativity
Chloe - I agree about the power of gratitudes daily. I've been doing daily gratitudes since 1999. I know it has made a difference in my life in the long run. Thanks for the link.
dessert mouse - I love reading them too,
- I am so grateful for my gratitude friends.
~ We are having a baby granddaughter - so exciitng. The ultra sound showed a healthy child. I am so grateful.
- heading into the next couple days with a plan... I am hoping and praying for the willingness to have sanity with food.
- DS called with so much joy in his heart about having a baby girl
- Mom and Rachel talked to Barb. Glad for that.
- family, friends, YOU ALL, fb, cell phone, internet, music
BeverlyJoy! So inspiring that you have been doing daily gratitude for that long. That inspires me all the more. I have gone in and out at different times of my life and I always wonder why I stop because it does make SUCH a difference.
I know you are going to do great with the holiday eating and you will be mindful to avoid guilt about anything that feels "off plan." Any guilt or bad feelings will not be helpful.
This morning I am grateful for...
...my patience.
...no conflict with my closest friends.
...really good notes towards my paper.
...constant drive to figure out a better career path.
...the calm I feel in my heart.
...finding beauty in the day yesterday, even with the constant rain and darkness.
...a morning without rain!
...help on my school project.
...the peace I feel within myself.
...the small walk I got in yesterday.
...for a healthy and strong body.
...for all the people in my life that hopefully I positively impact as much as they do me!
