I’m grateful for pen and paper because in this age of email, text and social media there’s still something special about a handwritten note or card.

Attitude of Gratitude Day 7
I’m grateful for do-overs and second chances. I’m grateful that my mistakes and off-days don’t define me.
Attitude of Gratitude Day 6
I’m grateful for those who fought before me so that I have the right to vote this Election Day. I’m also grateful this election cycle is coming to an end. I can do without the continuous TV ads and the contentious back and forth of the candidates. And I’m grateful that my hope is in Jesus because no matter who wins, He is still in control.
Attitude of Gratitude Day 5
I”m so grateful for my husband, who at 6:30 every morning, prays with us and then leaves to go to a job that pays the bills but offers minimum fulfillment. I’m grateful for his resolve, his devotion to his family and the great things I know God has in store for him.
Attitude of Gratitude Day 4
I’m grateful for the diverse beauty of man-the many hues, languages, and cultures. God, the Master Artist, in all His power and wisdom created such a vast tapestry…what a great invitation to broaden our scope and reach beyond our little piece of the world.
“Count all your blessings.
Count them every single day.
Then change your outlook.”
Attitude of Gratitude Day 3
I’m grateful for children who don’t know the difference between a weekday and the weekend and wake up at the crack of dawn either way, it means they are alive, healthy and happy to see a new day. I’m also grateful for Saturday morning cartoons and cereal that keep them occupied while I steal a few more minutes of sleep.
Attitude of Gratitude Day 1 & 2
According to some of my friends on Facebook, November is the month of gratitude and each day you’re supposed to post one thing for which you are grateful. While I’m on a self-imposed FB detox of sorts (another post for another day), I’m not one to turn down any opportunity to give thanks so I thought I’d blog my daily gratitudes.
Day 1
I’m grateful for clarity of mind especially since I’ve only averaged about 12 hours total sleep over the past 3 nights with a cranky but clingy 21 month old.
Day 2
I’m grateful for heat and electricity. Our furnace is out and while waiting for the part (that had to be specially ordered-then delayed due to Superstorm Sandy) we’ve been using space heaters. I know that I can”make do” but in light of all that the storm victims are enduring, my heart and prayers truly go out to them.
