Last week was the start of my 30 day gratitude challenge! I must admit, I was feeling like I was trudging through last week just a bit. However, I found being present to gratitude lifted the fog I was feeling and made me feel alive and connected to my work, my community, my family and friends. Today, this day after the presidential election, I continue to reflect on gratitude as a way to remind myself to be ever present in the moment and to appreciate all the good things in my life.
- Tuesday, Nov 1st: Grateful for my parents! To honor them I bought Duffeyrolls and made them breakfast as a surprise.
- Wednesday, Nov 2nd: Grateful for Rene, my greyhound! To honor her I took her on a mid-day romp at the dog park with her dog friend Ava.
- Thursday, Nov 3rd: Grateful for having known, loved, was loved by, and married to Mike! To honor him Rene and I took a trip to the cemetery and spent time at his grave.
- Friday, Nov 4th: Grateful for "my voice"! To honor my voice I spoke up when I needed to and shared my feelings.
- Saturday, Nov 5th: Grateful for my business Soulful Transitions! To honor it I was very "present" at the holiday market representing my business and connecting with many people, sharing my story and hearing their stories as well.
- Sunday, Nov 6th: Grateful for my neighbor Mary! To honor her I gave her a thank you card, small chocolate piece and a grape ornament I had made.
- Monday, Nov 7th: Grateful for my car! To honor it I gave it a well-deserved wash and vacuum.
- Tuesday, Nov 8th: Grateful for being able to have a morning ritual! To honor it I made tea and sipped it in bed with Rene asleep by my side.
- Wednesday, Nov 9th: Grateful for my brother! To honor him I mailed him a card telling him how much I appreciate him in my life.
