1,000 Gifts

Several years ago while watching Oprah she talked about doing a
"Gratitude" journal. She even had it set up that we could go
through her and do it on line. I did it for sometime and really
enjoyed it. Even got in the habit of expressing "gratitude" to
my Heavenly Father as I walked daily. Eventually, I was able
to think of things that filled my entire walking time. My
feelings of gratitude intensified and became deeper and more
meaningful as I did this. Then, sadly, and I don't remember
why, I stopped doing it.
Today, as I was browsing the internet I saw this idea of
expressing gratitude daily, weekly or however you chose and
seeking to reach the goal of being thankful for 1,000 gifts.
So, I decided to try it once again. Not sure if I will do it daily
or weekly. But, I am going to start with a few now:

1. Feeling very grateful for children who take time from their
busy schedules to come and work in my yard.

2. Grateful for choice friends and for time spent with them.

3. Cancer free--Three years November 7, 2009

4. Grateful for a car that gets me from here to there.

5. Thankful for a warm home and food on the table.
