Thankfulness

Being gracious and acknowledging what we are grateful for can lead to a happier and more positive life..Make it a point to recognize the good things in life and not concentrate on the negative.  I am a very positive and optimistic person.  I do not like thinking negatively. Do we ever take notice of the little things to be thankful for.

Things I am thankful for:

1)  The excitement my dog always has when he sees me. The way my cat sits by her empty bowl as though I am never going to feed her again.  The way the kitten meows whenever she enters or leaves a room, she is so talkative.

2)  When I receive an email from an old friend that I haven't talked to in ages.  It's nice to know I am still thought of after all this time. 

3) A co-worker bringing me a bag of mints and candy to replace the ones I always buy for everyone else there and to thank me for always making sure that everyone else is on track and that there are always mints at my desk for everyone before customers come in.

4)  The smile on a baby's face as she gets her bottle.  And the opportunity to feed the baby while her grandma is busy with the babys sister's class as I get to watch over the littlest ones in my reception area while the adults participate in class.

5)  The dew on the morning grass.

6)  My husband doing the dishes.

7)  My parents and everything they have ever done for me.

8)  The sand between my toes at the beach.

9)   The little boy (who isn't so little anymore) that I babysat6 years ago calling to say he still misses me.  I love him still after all these years and he will always have a place in my life even though distance now separates us.

10) The opportunity to have the freedoms to write what I am thankful for.

What are you thankful for?
