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 have matching bruises on the outsides of my knees. One on the left from Vinnie knocking me into a large tree on our trail ride last weekend; and one on my right when he objected to my trimming him and clipped me. Why are they on my Thankful Thursday list? Because they are tangible reminders of how, otherwise, great he was. And the trimming episode was an opportunity for training. He learned that kicking at me is not something he wants to do.
I’m very much looking forward to Sat Nam Rasayan tonight. It’s been a few weeks, since our regular practice sessions. I think that I need to practice in between, as the space of SNR renews me.
Another great event to look forward to is two days this weekend riding at Silver Falls State Park with good friends. I’ve never been there and it looks beautiful. A checker at Trader Joe’s even piped up about how pretty the falls were. It may likely be my last fun, group ride with Paisano.
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.

Way to flip it around and focus on the positive! I think it’s really important to have that ability in life. Thanks for the inspiration.
That’s what it’s all about. Since I’ve been doing this, amazingly enough, my life has improved in many ways, some quite tangible, others less so, but no less important.
mahalo!
