5 Simple things

“Write down 5 simple things you are grateful for in your life. They need not be big, just real…

Then move into your day and, over time, you’ll begin to notice something extraordinary…life gets lighter. This isn’t just foofy propaganda, it is the conclusion of some pretty fascinating research on the impact of gratitude journaling on pervasive happiness.

It’s real. It’s tested. And, it’ll will cost you nothing and take less than 5 minutes. You have nothing to lose by trying. So, give it a whirl. This time, maybe for the first time in your life, move beyond talking the gratitude talk and begin walking the gratitude walk.” 

The above quote is from a blog, Awake at the wheel , that includes an inspiring video and an equally interesting post.  Read the post and watch the video.

I’ve heard of this idea plenty of times and it’s time to give it a try.

I am grateful for…

1.  This blog and having a place to write my thoughts and feelings down.
2.  My blog friends who have come to visit me.
3.  The paratransit bus that has given me a way to get where I need to go.
4. Hearing a young girl,on a Cruise ship whose appendix burst., is well and will make a full recovery after being rescued by the Coast Guard.
5. The poinsettia plant my boss gave me for Christmas. She has really supported me and I appreciate that.

Hope everyone has a great day!
