I had recently heard of someone making a list of 1,000 things I am thankful. It has been quite an exercise. I am at 412.
A sampling of my list:
1. Food--always available
8. Friends and family being around the world.
14. Vision
21. Having a family who lives out what they believe
51. Being a bridesmaid--seven times
92. Clients who live me (I think I meant like...I was sleepy)
102. My parents' multiple jobs
124. Laws keeping kids from bringing guns to school
150. The color red
154. Flowers
178. My new, free perfume
193. Rest when I need it most
232. Clouds
245. My curious spirit
255. The smell of bread
256. The smell of leaves in the fall
261. Miracles
274. Coupons
285. Holiday spices
293. Urban Light (my church)
300. Polka dots
316. Getting my life and the world's hurt into focus
380. NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts
399. Gravity
402. How my heartbreak has brought me closer to god.
407. Mechanics
412. Having some successes with my clients
The range from silly to serious...deep to shallow...but I am keeping my journal with me day and night and jotting down anything that comes to mind. I am forced to look at my life and to evaluate thankfulness all around me. Any suggestions to add to my list would be greatly appreciated.
