Gratitude creates it’s own attitude. It can give you a new perspective, a new focus. I am going to use this day as my opportunity to see those things.
Ah, well today, I will list several things…
My wonderful husband, who does most of the cooking and grocery shopping in our household with little complaint, who has stuck by me for a month short of twenty-three years now.
That I am alive today. I have the opportunity to reinvent myself every day.
That I can laugh with my son. We relate on a geeky level. Yes, we both have that bent.
Furthermore, I am thankful for the gifts I’ve received this time around; insight; the ability to create, to share my visual images; and depth in my connections.

Take a few minutes today to create your own Thankful Thursday.
How:
Sit back and consider what you can be thankful for. Listing three to five things is nice, but one will do.
Post about gratitude on your blog.
Then link back here or leave a comment.
Feel free to tag other bloggers, if you like to do that, but it’s not necessary. This is not a meme that obligates you to do anything, but look for gratitude. Oh, and link back, and comment, that’s all I ask.
If you don’t have your own blog, go ahead and write about what you are thankful for in the comments here instead.
If you are on Twitter and you found value in this post, please retweet. Thanks!
We are so blessed. And it is yet another blessing when we realize that what might be perceived as bad, negative or painful is actually a gift as well.
I am thankful for you, Simrat, every day.

I am enjoying Thankful Thursday. Gratitude is a great habit. Gorgeous picture of Crater Lake. I am envious of your artistic talent.

Marilyn, I’m glad that you enjoyed it! And that is another thing that I am thankful for, the vision that I am able to share. Crater Lake is a pretty amazing place. It took relatives visiting for me to go see it. Stupid to live so close for more than 20 years and not go! It’s hard not to take a good picture there.
Amy Jo, PERFECT!
What a beautiful photo. Would love to be there in person! Awesome finding a horse person who is filled with love and gratitude. You helped point me in the right direction today, up! Erin Pearson, Dandelion Fields horses education and healing
Good to know, Erin. I appreciate your commenting! Is there anything that you are thankful for?
