Gratitude and this Freelance Writer

by Anne Wayman on September 28th, 2006

When I need a mental boost I make a gratitude list. I’ve learned it’s totally okay to be grateful for the small things as well as the large. Here’s my gratitude list for today:

1. A check that arrived
2. My cat, Mz Tiz
3. My ability to write
4. My willingness to write
5. The trip I’m taking
6. Two new clients
7. Really good coffee
8. My espresso machine (saves me a ton)
9. My garden
10. Warm, sunny weather
11. National Public Radio
12. The web
13. Good health
14. My grandkids
15. My adult children
16. Memories, like boat bumming and dinner with friends last night

There – I feel better now… and sometimes I make a list 100 items long.

Write well and often,
