The Gratitude Challenge

reblogged a post from
Journey to Ambeth http://journeytoambeth.com/2015/07/20/the-gratitude-challenge/
that challenged readers to,
“…write about something for which I’m grateful.”
It’s so easy to be the grand marshal of my own personal pity parade and I have no doubt that others have marched in their own version of this macabre parade, too. At the end of each day, I (try to) do a quick gratitude review.
- Although I live in a dog house and the dogs just let me live here, 70% of the world doesn’t live as well as I do. That, in itself, proves I have 70% more reasons to be grateful than not.
Whether I deserve more or less, I am grateful for
…a house with a roof that keeps out the rain
…a job that I love
…working with the best people in the world
…a computer that spins me into the blog-o-sphere where I’ve made more friends I’ve never met than I ever thought possible
…enough to eat and clothes to wear
…every spring, summer and fall that I can walk out the door at dusk to take in the scent of 4 O’clock flowers, a scent I love better than roses.
…what’s left of my sight, a great sense of smell, 2 arms and legs that work, and a mind that’s not-quite-right in all the ways that help me write.
and, most of all
I’m grateful for all of the people in my life who have supported my writing obsession from the very beginning. Without you, I’d have no blog and no book.
I challenge you to a Gratitude duel and look forward to reading your answers.
That’s awesome! I love your idea of a Gratitude Duel 🙂 Thanks also for the link, much appreciated xx

That’s what comes out of the dyslexic mind at 3am. 🙂
Looking back on my early days of blogging, if it weren’t for the kind and gentle links by a cybernation full of people who love helping other bloggers, the only people still liking my stuff would be family members. 🙂

You are centered and have your priorities in the right place, but you already know that. ❤️
