Things I saw today

Thankful, Greatful, Content - These are all words that I am striving to live.  To really live.  I'm not any of these things by nature, in fact 90% of the time I'm a glass-half-empty person.  I'm keeping a private Gratitude Journal so that I can write down the things I am grateful for.  I have a pretty extensive list so far which means this process is going well. 

First on my list is "Family." I'm pretty proud of my family and where we are right now and where we are headed.  I also have on there "Friends," "My Artwork," "My Neighborhood" and various other things big and small. 

Maybe I'll scan some pages in here to show you.... 

What are you guys grateful for? Have you done any pages or journaling about this?

I love cattails! Those are great pictures

I really need to write in a gratitude journal. I'm glad yours is filling up :)

Good for you MK. I'm glass half full most of the time too. I really have to make an effort to be positive.

I have thought of keeping a gratitude journal. You've inspired me to get started :)

I'm reminded of a conversation I had with my older daughter recently. I think I am a realistic optimist. I don't sugar-coat things, but I generally think things will probably turn out okay, or that while it's good to understand all possible outcomes, a 10% chance of rain means that, most likely, your parade will do just fine. My daughter was a born pessimist. A worrier. When I was explaining the "glass half-full" metaphor, she said, with no trace of irony, "Why would you EVER call that glass half-full?"
