"G" is for Gratitude

Welcome to my A to Z Alphabetical Inspirational Word Journey for the month of April. Naturally, there will be a picture quote and music. 

I invite you to join me daily as I explore a word that inspires me and speaks to me in some way, shape, or form. 

See the whole list of bloggers HERE

As I carry on with this writing challenge, I realize I do write about positive affirmations and behaviors quite a bit.

I suppose I touch on the same topics more than once as a reminder to myself to stay on top of the qualities I like to have as well as the behaviors I would like to shed.

Being thankful and grateful have become who I am and how I behave. It is so easy to get pulled into the world of naysayers and negativity. It is just as easy to participate in positive activities and rainbows, unicorns and glitter.

Taking a moment to practice gratitude, to say thank you - in my head or out loud or on paper, makes the rest of my day better.

  • I am grateful I have this forum to share my beliefs.
  • I am grateful anyone other than me reads this.
  • I am grateful for the women who have come in and out of my life - lifting me up when I needed it and being there for me.
  • I am grateful for my family for making me laugh and love out loud all the time.
  • I am grateful to share a partnership with Kathy at the salon.
  • I am grateful for the salon ~ it is an avenue I never saw myself walking down and my word, it's fun.
  • I am grateful for technology. Except for when I am not.
  • I am grateful I have a home to live in, food in my cupboards, and the ability to pay my bills.
  • I am grateful for my health. Every. Single. Day.
  • I am grateful for all of you.

Naturally, this is but a partial list...

Your turn.

How about me not blaming you for everything
How about me enjoying the moment for once
How about how good it feels to finally forgive you
How about grieving it all one at a time

I am grateful my daughters turned out so well in spite of their parents. I am grateful for my husband and his success which allowed me to retire early so I can do family research and blog all day long if I want. I am grateful for all that I have even though I really want to get rid of a lot of it. I am grateful for good friends.

It is just as easy to follow a positive path and it seems to make life so much better if you do!

I keep a gratitude list in my journal every day, it usually is the last thing I do before sleep. It has changed my life completely!

I hope you have a wonderful time during the rest of A to Z!

I used to be a little more diligent about that - your note is the little nudge I needed to get back to doing it.
