Today's Gratitude List

November 30th, 2012 at 03:39 am

1. Hot water for shower.
2. DH came with me to Costco for shopping. Costco waits 3-5 days before cashing cheques so we wrote one (we have under $100 in chequing). Found 75 oz tub of Nutiva Coconut oil for $22. Considering an 14 oz Nutiva coconut oil jar goes for $11 you bet I jumped on this!
3. Did not need to run out for impromptu meal of pork chops with cabbage (red) and apples.
4. Found my BECU thumb drive and mp3 player. Not bothering with iTunes on this PC.
5. wowitsawonderfullife's idea to make this a frequently occurring theme.
6. Good and timely Costco parking and shopping trip.

    Thank you for reminding your readers of the great blessing that is showering with hot water!

    I like the gratitude list, too! I just received a journal from my sister that I think I will use to write down things I'm grateful for.

    I watched a PBS show on happiness, can't remember what it was called or who the speaker was, but it recommended writing down three specific things you are grateful for each day, and I've been trying to do this. It hasn't been all that easy -- it's so easy to lapse into general gratitude for big things (which is important, too). But he was clear that you should be specific and focus only on each day. Anyway, I already found FOUR things to be grateful for this morning:

    It is unseasonably warm and I didn't even have to wear gloves or hat on my walk to the station.

    Neither my knee nor my hip is hurting today.

    The station restocked their free book collection, and I found three I want to read. One is Notable Book of 2012, which I had on my reading list.

    Free food in the break room -- almond pastry for breakfast and pizza for lunch.

    CBintheCity: I just returned The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin, and she referenced the same concept of the three things to be grateful for. I need to slough so many things: external paper clutter, mental clutter, physical clutter and am trying the gratitude list as a baby step in one of those directions.

    I will ask my family for a Lamy pen so I can Quantify Myself in a journal. Privacy is getting more important to me. I will continue to post here -- I am comfortable sharing what I do here.
