I found myself complaining about the littlest things and getting annoyed at myself. Does that ever happen to you? Getting annoyed at own voice? I had to slap my head upside down to acknowledge that I have been blessed with so much and so fortunate to live in the States. The idea did not come from me, rather my girl Oprah who started a Gratitude Journal herself. I wanted certain things for my life, however I need to learn to be thankful in the little things in life. So I gave myself a 30 day challenge which I hope to continue for 60, 90, and etc., to find something that I am truly appreciative of or grateful for. I want to get into a habit of appreciating things.
Today, I am thankful for:
For my roommate who made me coffee this morning.
My class at the gym, allowing me to release some stress in the middle of the day.
My AC at home. It's 104 degrees in NYC today. Thank you for the cool air.
For the female banker at my gym who made me laugh.
For Mr. Ted - his consistency and positive perspective.
P.S. The details on this fabulous card pictured above can be found here
Seriously! What a great reminder. I think it's so much easier to complain than to be thankful. :)
ReplyDeleteToday, I'm thankful for fruit smoothies and yogurt (so far).
