You may have read my post about #TweetsGiving last week; I’m participating in this global gratitude celebration, and I encourage you to do the same! Feel free to leave a comment here, or share your gratitude through your own blog, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or any other way you’d like.
Gratitude Au Gratin
Ingredients:
- 1 Mom who loves and supports me no matter what
- 1 Dad who never passes up an opportunity to tell me (and everyone he knows) that I make him proud
- 1 brother who constantly challenges me to rethink my preconceived notions
- 1 sister who reminds me that stopping to smell the roses isn’t a waste of time
- 2 nephews who provide me with an endless source of unconditional love and hours of entertainment with their antics
- 1 grandmother who continually inspires me to strive to new heights
- zest of 1 lemon (because zest makes everything taste better; HT:GG)
Directions:
- Mix all of the above ingredients.
- Add a job that not only puts a roof over my head and food on my table, but that I genuinely enjoy and allows me to learn and grow.
- Stir in opportunities to be involved in my community that (although they sometimes cause me stress and annoyance) help me to feel like I make a difference in this world.
- Sprinkle in my wonderful friends who make life fun and interesting (you know who you are), who are there when I laugh and when I cry, who support and encourage me, and who aren’t afraid to take me down a peg or two when I need it.
I’m grateful for my life; I’m in a very different place than I thought I would be, but then, who can tell the future anyway? I wouldn’t trade a minute of it.
