I was attempting (unsuccessfully) to open my Gmail via Internet Explorer, and happened upon my link to Zen Habits via my iGoogle page. I found a wonderful idea involving recording gratitude. I thought to myself, “What a fine idea, considering I’ve been kind of out of it lately.”
The recording of gratitude doesn’t just involve my short-list, but also yours. Feel free to pitch in.
I am grateful for:
1. My family and friends who have been doing everything humanly possible to keep me sane (reasonably, anyway) during the last several months. You’re doing a great job. Someday I hope to repay you for the many gifts you’ve given me.
2. My job. Even though you’re a frustrating pain in the arse, I do get paid to do a job that is mostly rewarding and making a difference in many ways. Friday, I solved a couple of issues I wasn’t sure about, but it all worked out anyway.
3. A roof over my head. Some people are not lucky enough to have a roof or a place to call home.
4. My sanity, even though I wonder about it sometimes lately (stress does that). Hey, if I lose it, then there’s several less things for me to worry about. The nice people in white coats will deliver my meals and make sure I get enough sleep. 😉
5. Love… receiving it, feeling it, and giving it back.
What are you grateful for?
