I just read a tweet from a fellow tweeter. I got the impression she was down in the dumps… she said she felt, “out of sorts.” I have felt like that many times in my life (I’m sure most people have). I replied to her tweet and told her to make a gratitude list.
Then I thought, “Darlene! You’re a genius! You should make one.” So I am. Right here, right now.
I am grateful for:
- my sobriety
- my children
- the ability to use all five of my senses
- music
- the gift of writing
- nature
- green lights
- coffee
- my cats
- my genes
- a sunny day
- a Sunday morning
- making some one smile
- a brand new notebook
- that I was born exactly when I was born
- Tyler State Park
- other people’s opinions
- tolerance….
These are just some of the things I am grateful for. But, I want to hear from you. What are you grateful for? What makes you say thank you. What helps you through your day?

Great list. I really, really enjoyed reading it and being reminded to never take anything for granted. And that there a millions of ways to be happy in a day, we just have to keep our eyes open.
I guess my list would include family, love, laughter, writing, reading and smiling. Thanks again for writing this.

I thank God for all favors, whether they be big or small ones. That being said, my list would be too long! I always try to give thanks for even the simplest of pleasures…especially green lights! Enjoyed this post – hope it makes everyone think the same.

This is a fabulous list! I can especially appreciate the new notebook–I recently bought a new dictionary because all 4 of mine were falling apart, losing pages. I LOVE my new dictionary! I don’t know if you’re like me, but I’m so easily thrilled–or devastated; so little things are HUGE to me 🙂
