[...] 2009, under Uncategorized Like Miz said, “ain’t nothin’ new under the sun” (well, she used different words)… but I’m going to write about a few tools anyway. No, not tools as in stupid men or [...]

Okay, I’m commenting VERY late on this because I already won one of Lisa’s amazing and gorgeous necklaces through you, so I figured I’d wait till after the drawing. But of course I have to comment, gratitude is one of my favorite topics.

I think as we get older, we learn (though experience!) how few things in life are guaranteed. We start to realize how easy it is to lose things, or people, and that we are not “entitled” to them or even promised another day with them. So we tend to recognize our blessings more, and be more grateful. At least, I think that’s the goal.

I am so grateful for so many things, though actually they aren’t things. Mostly what I am grateful for are people. I am blessed with so many amazing people in my life. I have also been blessed by being exposed to so much wisdom and insight through various avenues, all of which have contributed to my own development as a person. I am deeply grateful for all of these things.

What a great reminder to take a step back each day to appreciate what we have vs. focusing on what we don’t. I try to do this every day but it is so easy to get caught up in all the busy-ness at work and at home and to forget…

I’m thankful for sunrises that remind me that I inhabit but a small, small corner of this beautiful world. We haven’t seen many sunrises as of late (thanks to a month-long blanket of fog), but a few have surprised us in the last week and they have grounded me and reminded me of the forces that are far greater than me. Humbling and uplifting at the same time.

I’m also very grateful that our pediatrician’s office has a branch that is open on weekends. My son’s ear infection was able to be diagnosed on Saturday instead of plaguing him (and us) until sometime on Monday or Tuesday.

As for the Boston Locket – I’d be happy for someone else to win it.

Hi Miz. I’m late to the party!

I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently because I guess I’m not so much about the photos, but then I realized that some memories were getting fuzzier. ANyway, this is maybe the vainest answer, but right now I need reminding that I’m grateful to just be here and doing the things I do, so my picture would be of me.

But worry not, because it would be me with friends or family, because I’m gratefull for the all the support i’ve ever had in getting to this place.

I would put a picture of my mom in there. Just to keep her close to my heart because I miss her so.

As cheesy as this sounds, I’m firstly thankful for this post today! I woke up on the not so bright side of the bed this morning w/ a full to do list and work to go to on Sunday but I’m glad to have a job and to be waking up at all!
Thanks Miz
On that note, I would absolutely put a picture of my family in my Boston Locket — the older I get the more I realize their ability to center me in my life and I am grateful for that constant rock solid cheering squad behind me!

I would put my hubby and my daughter in, because they mean the world to me. I couldn’t imagine my life without them.

I’m with you Miz! I used to use a gratitude board for all my students. It was hard for some of them to come up with a being grateful idea! With all the woes in the world, there are many things that come to mind, such as, having dogs that always are thankful no matter what you ask of them, or a partner who helps with dishes, supper, vacuuming etc. I’m thankful especially for having good friends who will listen when you rant about things that are not important to them! Have a great day!
