Gratitude

This week we celebrate Thanksgiving. I am reminded how giving thanks, or gratitude, is a discipline. I need to practice it more. Today I had one of my pity parties so I decided that I would blog what I'm thankful for to pull myself back to reality.

I am thankful for. . . .

• my loyal companion, my daschie, Mazy
• my beautiful home
• the changing of seasons
• the messy garden
• beautiful music to listen to and be inspired by on my ipod
• the closeness of my family
• being employed in a tough economy
• a week of rest
• some connection to love ones far away through facebook
• the advent season reminding me to remember God

What are you thankful for today?
