Hoping an Attitude of Gratitude Will Save the Day
I should be in a great mood. I had the day off today and I’ve had a pretty awesome weekend. But I’m in a funk for many reasons including an incident with a jerk at the gym, the stress of juggling freelance writing gigs with my full-time job, and my aching joints and muscles. I took a break from my to-do list and decided to drop by Sometimes Sweet, one of my favorite blogs, and saw that Dani found herself in a similar funk on Sunday and decided to end her day with a gratitude list, something I often do as well. So I’m going to take a few moments to make one of my own in hopes that it will get me back on track. At this moment I am thankful for:
- My amazing husband
- The chance to have lunch with my husband today (which usually only happens in the summer)
- My church small group girls, who will be over in a few hours
- My gym membership (in spite of the jerks)
- The beautiful running trail in my neighborhood (on which I ran Saturday and Sunday)
- My new running shoes! (post about these coming soon)
- My freelance writing opportunities
- Black Girls Run! Birmingham
- The chance to spend time with my mom, my cousin/BFF, my favorite aunt, and my brother this weekend
- I was in a flash mob on Saturday!!!
What are you thankful for today?
