Sometimes, when the mid-week slump hits, we need a little extra push to get us through the rest of the week.
Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy — because we will always want to have something else or something more.
— Brother David Steindl-Rast
We all have things that we take for granted, whether it’s family, friends, technology, or even that we have the ability to try to cook, or a roof over our hears. On this rainy Wednesday morning, when I want nothing more than to curl back until my covers, I thought I would take a moment to reflect on what I am grateful for this morning.
I Am Grateful:
- For a mom who is willing to drive 2 1/2 hours every year just so she won’t miss my birthday
- That my dad remembered to actually call me on my birthday, even if it was 10:00 at night
- That I do have a job, even if it’s one I`m not thrilled about doing anymore
- That I am healthy (more and more people I know are catching H1N1)
- That my mom says that I can go home at anytime
What are you grateful for?

It’s always good to slow down and take stock of the good in our lives. My kids are a wonderful reminder for me to do that, and relish in the little things. The bad never seems so bad after that.

Of course I’m grateful for the obvious – family, health, friends, etc. But outside of all that, I’m grateful for my automatic car starter. A real lifesaver in my neck of the woods this time of year when you need to warm that baby up before you get in.
P.S. Just dropping by from SITS!
