{TGIF} Try Gratitude…It’s Friday!
It’s so easy to be in our heads and think about how much things ARE NOT going the way we want, or focusing on things we DON’T have. So…I’ve decided, that at least once a week, on Fridays, we should all take a minute to focus on things that ARE going well. Things we’re grateful for. I’ll be putting together a list of things that I love. That I’m grateful for. Or happy about. All from this week. I’ll go, then YOU go. Leave a comment on the blog with some of the things you’re grateful for RIGHT NOW.
When al ele fails…and especially when you don’t want to…Try gratitude.
Here goes…
I’m grateful for:
Personal transformation. CTI. Unpeeling another onion layer. Honesty. Truth. Top 40 Radio and really terrible pop songs. Cuddling with my puppy. Sparks. Beauty. An expanded heart. Gin and Tonics. Cheese and crackers. Routine. Figurative mirrors. Communication. Possibilities. The blue sky. Tenderness. Realness. Being seen. Seeing others. Anthropologie. My Iphone. Cheaper gas. Road trips. Inspiration. Blue post-it’s with red writing on them. Doing it different than I’ve ever done it before. Tears. Baths. Country dancing. Red skinny jeans. Nectarines. Fresh picked flowers. The little things. Leopard print dishwashing gloves. Looking forward to things.
Ok…now YOU go!
Here are some pics from my week. Hope you had a great one. Don’t forget to leave a comment with some things YOU are grateful for.

I’m grateful in general for being alive, for the new crystal bracelet and earrings that arrive yesterday, for climbing a hill for the summer solstice and having the most amazing experience with the wild ponies on the hill, for the fantastic new red (and black) dress I bought today that look super hot, for the sun that shone when I walked the dogs, for how quick I can type on the computer, for the inspiration that allowed me to develop the intro for a talk super fast, for the fact I only have one day left of work, for the opportunity to take my business to the beach and spend a month in A Coruña, Spain with full board covered. Man I could go on and on. I’m just a wee grateful bunny right now :)
Ahhhh I love this list and especially the “how quick I can type on the computer part.” Isn’t it funny the things we realize we’re grateful for once we just take a minute to think about it? And woooooo weeeeeee! Spain?! Sounds amazing. I’m grateful for you for that too. :)
my parents, travel blogs, facebook, sunshine, dogs i’ve seen lately that are telling me to get one, Tim Berners-Lee(invented the internet), beautiful inspiring women like Sally, my Dad’s Japanese garden, iphones, yoga, ribeye steaks, Montreal steak seasoniong and red wine!!!
What an awesome list! And not just because you included me in it. I hear you about the iphone. Sheesh…it’s hard to imagine life before it. :)
