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.
I came out in the living room tonight. I was going to tell my son that it was time to go to bed. I found him watching an OPB piece on Monty Python. I found that I had to sit down and watch too. What fun to see it freshly through his eyes. It never grows old. “And now for something completely different…..”
We recently saw the new Harry Potter movie. While it was enjoyable, what I remember most is a preview for a movie of “Where the Wild Things Are.” It made me remember what a wonderful book that was and how many times I read it as child and then reread it to my own children. I loved the pacing of the story. It still captivates me. I believe that “let the wild rumpus start!!” Indeed!
So what I find I am really grateful for is how my children help me to remember, remain young in mind and excited about life.
Take a few minutes today to create your own Thankful Thursday.
How:
Sit back and consider what you have to be thankful for. Listing three to five things is nice, but one will do.
Post about gratitude on your blog. 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 blog, please 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.

We have at least one mOnty Python moment every week, between my daughter and me. It just comes up naturally between us. I would never have revisited them if I hadn’t felt the need to show her something I thought she’d appreciate.
I remember Where the Wild Things Are so vividly. It’s funny how those impressions from childhood stay with us. Nice to have kids who bring them out!
