What a cute, but very true line from Winnie the Pooh. Our heart can never be too full of gratitude. In fact I firmly believe our hearts will grow, and our ability to love will increase as we express gratitude more often. We will begin to love our lives more, love the people in our life more and see the good in the world.
I'm grateful....
1. The relaxing Friday night I got to just read my book and bake some treats.
2. That I was able to go on a run on Saturday and ran without stopping, which for me is a big deal.
3. That I was able to hear a story that reminded me of the Lord's tender mercies.
4. For the opportunity I had to go to a LDS Young Single Adult Fireside with a group of wonderful young ladies and to hear words that rang true in my heart.
5. For the great turnout I had in my class on Sunday, and for all the great comments from the students.
6. For this beautiful and warm January weather.
7. That I could walk to lunch yesterday. In a skirt. With no coat or tights on. It was that nice!
8. For the fun/successful event I had last week at work.
9. For the trials I'm going through that are helping strengthen my faith.
10. For friends who text me randomly, just to see how I'm doing.
What are you grateful for this week?
I love WInnie the Pooh quotes:-). Great job on the running! My goal is usually just to not stop as well!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I'm not the only one who stops :)
DeleteOh, this is a good thing to do! (Especially since I've been on the phone, or on hold, with a doctors office and insurance co's today *grrrr*)

Ughh that is the worst! Find something good that is coming from it :)
DeleteCute quote! I am so jealous of your warmer weather! Definitely enjoy it and those of out east will live vicariously through you ;).
ReplyDeleteI should really do one of these -- great post idea! I don't express my gratitude enough.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time on your blog. I adore your header! It's so true and from one of the greatest.
Thank you Christy! I'm so glad you've found me and hope to see you around again :)
DeleteI love this! Kinda lame, but I am especially grateful for my kitty being happy and healthy! (Scott accidentally stepped on her little foot the other day! It was the most heart breaking thing ever watching her limp around and be super mad and staying under the bed!)
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing lame about that at all. If it is important to you, it is important!
DeleteI love this list! Where are you living right now, that is so warm? I'm glad you had a wonderful relaxing weekend!

ReplyDeleteAhh Kelli I'm so glad you feel that way! Thank you!
DeleteSuch a great exercise to follow!!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that taking time to verbalize and write out what we feel thankful for can literally change the course of everything.It's a great way to readjust our attitudes. :) Thanks for the reminder!

I am grateful for the wonderful weather that we are having here in San Francisco - getting to walk around at lunch without a coat is awesome!
