"Be an appreciator of the seemingly small things in life; a smile, a kind word, a beautiful flower, a few hours of unstructured time, a laughing child, for it is the small things that become the warp and weft of the fabric of your life."

I was inspired by Jillusers post to start writing a daily gratitude list.  I do have a tendency to focus on the negative and I want to remember that I still have many, many things to be thankful for

My friend came to visit with me today. 

The girls played together well almost the whole day.

I got paid to day.

VM season 3 went on sale at Target.

No bills in the mail.

I got to practice face painting the girls.

School supplies are on sale.

I got a yummy calzone from Joe's for lunch.

I remembered to put the trash out this morning.

I found my son's cell phone that he thought he had lost.

See - my life's not so bad.
