I've been thinking about Gratitude for the past week, and then with the news of Sam's passing, it has prompted me even more.
Thinking about Gratitude has been a way to shift my thinking and come back to the present. I've been attending Al-Anon meetings over the past month. Many people are grateful for the meetings and for 'the program', among other things. I hear the word alot. And the truth is, that it is really grounding. And relieving.
So, I thought tonight I'd start the beginnings of an Alex Gratitude list. Tonight, I am thankful for:
The Nature that surrounds me every day
To be alive
That I am healthy (relatively :-)
That I feel joy
My wonderful wonderful friends
My beautiful dog, Lucy
My Family, who I know loves me very much
Opportunities
Adventures
The last year I had with my father
Want to join me in a list for the day?

Al, I didn't write yesterday because I am having trouble with coming up with things for my list...but for you, I will try:
ReplyDeleteA place to lay my head
Wonderful memories
My Health
Good Friends
and
the Possibilities of the Future
I think that's a great list, Bean! There are no rules, remember. Even if you wrote one thing, that's enough! I like 'Wonderful Memories'.
