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.

Having a job with health insurance that allows me two hour massages. The company that manages our benefits says that the alternative and preventative care we have access to has actually decreased our employees’ total health insurance claims. Hmmm….. I used to feel slightly guilty taking full advantage of it. Now I don’t anymore.
Mercury retrograde … it made today a challenging day for me. The challenges made me look at what was going on, where I was loosing my neutrality. That awareness is priceless to me.
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.

It was still almost Thursaday … I was up much too late writing up a proposal for a museum commission. At 1am I accidentally deleted all the text and photos, I’d written so far. I logged onto Twitter to see if anyone I knew was up … no one. Oh well, I started back to work and finished at 3. As I was posting the note to my Facebook Fan page, a Twitter friend noticed I was still at work, and said hello via Facebook DM. It was SOOOO nice to connect with him, when the rest of the world was asleep that I smiled and signed off for the night. Very Thankful.
Great way to find the gratitude in small things, Kari.
“Blackberries eaten from horseback on the trail at dusk.”
I’ve done that. Thanks for the image and the memory. I needed that today. A lot.
Yeah, I like it best when the horse eats them too. That’s what my Lily does…
