I saw this on Facebook today and it seemed appropriate. Today was a busy day getting ready for family things and Christmas. Per tradition, I fell short. But I have decided the thought and the effort counts. Today, while I was at Walmart getting stocking stuffers, I cheerfully greeted the checkout clerk and thanked her… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 33

Developing the Attitude of Gratitude – Day 32
I have attempted, within the bounds of my crazy busy schedule, to live by these thoughts throughout this Christmas season. I am thankful for the courage God grants me to keep friendships real and the courage He grants me to admit when I am in the wrong and to mend relationships that are bad. I… Continue reading Developing the Attitude of Gratitude – Day 32
Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 31
Today I had/received two gifts that were not about things... they were about giving and memories. Today I am thankful for Lilli and her friend Ethan that gave up sleeping in to help unload the truck at McKay's new house and who unpacked box after box at McKay's new house. It is not often that… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 31
Developing and Attitude of Gratitude – Day 30
Today was a long day, but in a good way. Today I taught a voice lesson. I tried something new and it really did help the student match pitch. I am grateful for little ideas and inspiration.

Developing and Attitude of Gratitude – Day 28 and Day 29
Boy! My life! I am looking forward to Christmas break. One more day of work before I can rest! Today I am grateful for the massage I treated myself too. Today I am grateful for delivery... or I may not have eaten today. Today I am grateful Tylenol.

Having an attitude of gratitude is having the mindset that God is intertwined with the intimate details of our lives. I am realizing that it is more than being grateful for what happens. It is truly appreciating the fact that God has worked out a blessed plan of happiness. I am grateful for this plan.… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 27
Developing and Attitude of Gratitude – Day 25
Today has been a bit of an usual day. It started with aches and pains that made it hard to feel motivated to get out of bed. I eventually got the energy to power through the discomfort and grabbed clean underclothing and headed to the shower. One problem. They were NOT clean, those pesky underclothing.… Continue reading Developing and Attitude of Gratitude – Day 25
Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 23 and 24
It's been a couple long days and I have not been able to get to my computer to recognize my grateful things. I decided that it would be a good thing to thank the people who have changed me for good in many positive ways. First, I am thankful for my husband. He was gone… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 23 and 24
Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 22
Today I worked at being present by looking for the little things to be thankful for. Today I was grateful for tea. I am grateful tomato soup, after a long day, to warm me up. I am grateful for the chance to run home for a few minutes this afternoon, and that I didn't have… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 22
Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 21
Today was an other long day... lessons, school, rehearsals, and a band concert. Still... being a long day didn't mean there weren't little miracles here and there. Today I am grateful that when I came home there were a few Christmas decorations up, thanks to my oldest daughter making time to hang them. I am… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 21
