Long Overdue Gratitude Posts

I am sooo overdue on gratitude posts. It's been that sort of a month.

But here goes in no particular order of  some the things I am very grateful for today


Bagel sandwiches with good cream cheese and veggies
Bagels and as close to organic as you can get eggs for breakfast,
The fact I do wake up in the morning,
The Oliver Wolcott Library in Litchfield with it's great DVD selection,
The town transfer station,
Multiple dinner invitations for Thanksgiving,
Being able to sleep in at least one day a week,
A car that works
Knowing the difference between being smart and being right.
Each and everyone of my dogs, past and present.
My hair stylist that covers the grey!
Good co-workers


There are a few more things, but I will list them later!

Today's post of gratitude

I am grateful that I have the common sense to realize that I am not perfect.   How many people do you know think that they are?  

30 Days of Gratitude

I am darned lucky to have such wonderful friends and neighbors.  Heather and Donald are truly the Best Neighbors In The World and take such great care of me and the puppies!  You gotta have friends and they rock!

30 Days of Gratitude

I am grateful that I have a skill set that enables me to work in this competitive job market.

Today's Thought.

So I decided to participate in The Thirty Days of Gratitude project I saw Dogs Don't Eat Pizza Blog.    I've spent a good portion of my time recently feeling resentful about things in my life.  Things I have no control over, things I have control over that don't work out, and things in general. It really is a negative way of thinking and I wanted to change that.   

I read somewhere that it takes 21 days for something to become a habit.   I will probably need the thirty days!  

I woke up this morning in the most frightful mood. I feel mean and want to be mean to someone!  Yeah, that frightful.   Then I remembered all those people in New Jersey, on Long Island and on the CT shore that have lost everything-homes, cars, possessions, those people without power and won't have power for days more. Yikes, how selfish one becomes in a mean grumpy mood.

I am grateful that I woke up this morning in my own bed with my dog to a house with power and food in the fridge..


Makes you think doesn't it.
