My Blessings Reflection

In Nathan? Emily? Who's Next? From Sioux's Page, Sioux asks,

 “What are you most grateful for? Rested minds want to know...”

Last week was Thanksgiving and I saw lots of posts where people wished everyone a happy holiday. Many people even posted about all the things they were thankful for. I think this is a good practice to do and should be done more often than once a year.

I have a spreadsheet and make sure that I can list at least one thing about my husband that I’m grateful for. When I get annoyed with him, I can look at this and remind myself all the good things that he does.

Then I started thinking about all the other things that I’m thankful for and how lucky I am. When my husband and I had lunch the other day, I couldn’t resist telling how happy I was and how lucky I felt. There was so much for us to be thankful for and I wanted to make sure that remembered this. Then when I am feeling bad, sad, or discouraged, I wanted to remember feeling this way.

Here are some things that I’m grateful for:

·      My husband

·      My family

·      Friends (online and in real life)

·      My good health

·      Hiking

·      Knitting

·      Spinning

·      Crocheting

·      Traveling

·      Reading

·      Library

·      Living in the south

·      Nice weather

·      Food

·      Money to live comfortable

·      My home

·      Heat

·      Air conditioning

·      Treadmill

·      Hot tub

·      Microwave

·      3 bathrooms

·      cable TV

·      internet

·      Netflix

·      Cell phones

·      Fitbit zip

These are just some of the things I thought of today. I hope to do this at least once a month so I can make sure that I appreciate how lucky I am.

What are you grateful for? Please share.
