Writing About Gratitude

by Anne Wayman on November 23rd, 2006

I’m almost a gratitude junkie. That wasn’t always the case. For a long time the idea of a gratitude list made me, well, squeamish. That’s changed. I know that if I want a quick mental, spiritual, or psychological lift all I need to do is write a gratitude list. Here’s mine for Thanksgiving:

1. Visiting my daughter
2. Flying instead of driving
3. My kitty, MzTiz
4. The neighbors who feed her while I’m gone.
5. Emily - grandkid
6. Ben - grandkid
7. Valerie - grandkid
8. Gloria – a daughter in law.
9. Stacy – a daughter in law.
10. Mike – a son
11. Steve – a son
12. the supportive writers on my forum
13. the supportive readers here
14. my clients
15. working in clay
16. my garden
17. good coffee
18. good water
19. hot water for baths and showers
20. my living Rosemary Christmas tree
21. the ‘net
22. my computer

Whew, I feel better now… and I could go on… how about you?

Write well and often,
