gratitude: the state of being grateful; thankfulness...
Thanksgiving is almost upon us, and our thoughts are hopefully turning to thoughts of thankfulness & remembering what we are grateful for.
And, today...
....for the beauty of the deer, playing in the woods, just feet from my window, I am thankful.
....that Henry didn't flush after throwing paper cups & straws into the toilet, for that I am thankful.
....for a washing machine that stands ready for a mountain of dirty clothes, I am very grateful.
These are the things I am grateful for at this very moment.
What are you grateful for today? We'd like to hear from you. Is it something funny one of your children said, or perhaps, the very fact that your car is running & not broken down?
This is the ICU Gratitude Journal. A place where you can come daily to jot down what you're thankful for.
Remember - God is in the details, large or small or funny or serious. But if you're anything like me, it's hard to remember all the little things that happen in your life. Jotting down your thoughts will help you remember them longer & sharing them here may be a great source of encouragement for someone else.
Do you suffer from depression? Or do you get a little "blue" around the holidays? A lot of people do. Making an active choice to write down & remember all the good or positive things that happen in your life, however small they may be, can help. We're much happier when we are in a state of gratitude. The benefits of are many & it spills over into everything you do. Try it and see.
This is the season for counting our blessings but let's continue to do so as we move toward Christmas & the New Year & beyond.
Leave your expressions of gratitude as comments, anytime, day or night.
Blessings & Gratitude for you all -
