Gratitude creates it’s own attitude. It can give you a new perspective, a new focus. I am going to use every Thursday as my opportunity to see those things. I hope that this meme of Glass Half Full – Thankful Thursday will take off and spread.

This week, a special edition, inspired by my 13 year old son’s comment the other day.

  • He said, “I’m grateful that I am part of such a nice family.” I have to say that was pretty cool to hear.
  • From my daughter, “Shadow” (the dog), “Music”, “Curiosity”
  • From me … that the horse move went well and has made my life generally so much easier. My family even noticed that I am more cheerful. I come home after work and can eat dinner with everyone, hang out and go clean stalls and see the horses when I want to. It’s wonderful. At some point, this honeymoon period may end. We’ll see…

    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.
  • Gurunam (daughter) and her friend Rashmeen from Bangkok

  • 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.

    2. You have two of the most beautiful children – inside and out – have ever met. We are so blessed. I feel so blessed to have your children in my life and in my children’s lives. Thank you, Simrat, for bringing them into this world and guiding them so lovingly and responsibly.

      • Sincere thanks to you both for the comments. I really try not to pat myself on the back…. but you know those times where you are just bursting with joy at how incredible this human experience is? Those have to be shared. They are a good balance for the low, dark points.
