Thanks - pass it around

"Being thankful and counting your blessings this Thanksgiving may help you mentally and physically -- research shows it's healthy to be grateful." PRI 11/27/2008.  Read the article:
There are certain health benefits to showing gratitude and being thankful.  Many people reflect on this at Thanksgiving time but get so wrapped up in the stresses of everyday life that they forget to recognize what they are thankful for on a more regular basis.  This can also be called optimism.

 
Granted, we all have those moments when we say "Whew, I'm glad that..." or "Thank goodness ...." but how about being more focused on what we truly are thankful for?

So in the spirit of Thanksgiving I'm going to give a list of my own - call it my 25 random thanks in no particular order...

I am thankful for:
  1. waking up each day
  2. my daughter
  3. an uneventful pregnancy (so far)
  4. having a job in this economy
  5. I'm even more thankful to love what I do
  6. my husband, even when he's driving me crazy
  7. my parents who raised me to think for myself and gave me the strength, will, and grace to handle my problems
  8. two of my grandparents who are still alive and who I still learn from
  9. my family and friends who share my joy and help shoulder my burdens
  10. a strong body
  11. pumpkin that is so delicious and abundant this time of year
  12. my ability to see the silver lining
  13. life's events and choices that have placed me exactly where I am right now
  14. life's little surprises - like finding out that they were serving chocolate chip pancakes breakfast the other day
  15. no matter how big the world once felt, I never feel alone
  16. weekends
  17. my dogs who provide comfort, entertainment, and unconditional love
  18. living near my sister after 19 years in different states
  19. everything about my dad that I still carry with me, both in my heart and attitude
  20. heated seats on cold days
  21. hot cocoa on snow days
  22. my delightful niece who taught me that disabilities don't equal limitations
  23. photographs that remind us all of good times and forgotten moments
  24. having all the basic necessities - we always have food on our table and enough to share, shelter with room to spare, and clothes that have both been passed along and will be passed
  25. sunshine that warms from the outside in
 Happy Thanksgiving!
