{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. Things that inspire me. 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 all the things you’re grateful for RIGHT NOW. Here goes…
I’m grateful for:
The Internet! And all the amazing people I’ve met here. A warm bed to sleep in. My morning tea and peanut butter and apple routine. My parents and all their loving support. Doing something scary. The ability to love. My clients. My grandma. Target. Being seen. Seeing others. Night hikes. The chirping of birds. Netflix. People who read my blog (thank you!!!!!!). My bestie. Love. Friendship. Coaching. B-School! Weekend plans. Seeing old friends. Birthdays.
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.

Hi Sally,
I’m grateful for my wild, wavy hair, my singing voice, my storytelling husband, my rebellious nature, my essay writing ability, my painting ability, my civic-minded friends, the book, “women who run with the wolves,” all of Italy, the Isley Brothers, the movie ‘working girl,’ the rainforests, fresh drinking water, oxygen, historic homes …
fun! Giulietta
Miss Giulietta! This list is LOVELY!! I love how you’re owning and claiming all these beautiful parts of yourself. What a wonderful list! Enjoy your day and weekend and I’ll see you back at the gratitude drinking fountain next Friday! If you’re not already on my mailing list…jump on there so I can let you know when new stuff comes out. MWAH!! Here’s the link.
today I’m grateful for:
beer
my silly burner bourgeois cowboy hat with the feathers and rhinestones that makes manual labor feel like playtime
the healing power of snuggles
being able to take a full breath without coughing (can’t quite feel grateful for quitting smoking yet, but i’m working on it)
my ridiculously awesome, creative family
the satisfying release i get from throwing bottles into a recycling container and hearing them break
birds
the beautiful morning light and even better afternoon light in my new bedroom
my (relative) health
the health of my relatives
SIS! This list is AWESOME. Relatively speaking. :)
I’m grateful for pictures of Sally with firearms…warms the cockles of where my heart would be, were I born with one…
Hahha! Well luckily, I don’t think my passion for firearms is waning anytime soon. A shooting shot a week! That’s my motto.
“What’s a motto?”
“Nothing! What’s a motto with you?”
heh. gregory, this made me laugh.
I adore you, Sally #thatisall
I’m grateful for a beautiful Friday evening with doors & windows open, Giants on the TV, the man who made me feel attractive and wanted today and…that email from Sally that shows up to light a fire under my ass! <3
Woooooo hooooooo! Attractive and wanted. Bowchicka. :)
TGIF is my FAVE! Love it Sally…here’s my list. . .
I’m grateful for NYC, friends, family, the ability to overcome fears, cozy comforters on my bed, my beautiful boyfriend, comfy shoes, music, the sun, good TV, inspiring mentors, CTI, and YOU (all of you..but especially you Sally)! xo
What a wonderful list lady! And I’m grateful for you too. AND CTI. AND mentors. Wait…maybe this is my list. :)
Hey Sally!
I’m thankful for the opportunity I had to take a trip to Boston this weekend with my husband and my mom. I’m thankful for all the awesome, fattening food I ate too. Also, that I have healthy legs (or any at all) because we walked a LOT. I’m very thankful for my soft, king size bed waiting for me at home. Oh and for no fires to put out tomorrow at work. :)
Sounds like a pretty good gratitude list. :)
