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.
