From Tara:
My friend Jennifer invited me to participate in a Gratitude Challenge with her, and I'm loving the first assignment so much that I decided to share my answers on my own blog as well as the one we have for people participating in the challenge. If you would like to participate, go to the website below. You don't have to make it public if you don't want to, just do it privately. In this world that we live in, sometimes we forget all the things we have that we should be grateful for. SO, this day's challenge was to use the alphabet for making a list of the things you are grateful for in your life. Some of mine needed explaining, so I put that in another color beside it. I enjoyed this first exercise so much, I am really looking forward to the next 21 days of gratitude challenges. Check it out for yourself at: http://www.gratitudechallenge.com/ and click on the calendar on the side. This was such a nice, fun little thing to do. Try it out for yourself!
Okay, so here is my list:
Applesauce (it always calms my stomach when it's upset)
Brandon
Crayons (I'm just a big kid, after all)
Dogs
Eric
Friends
Good parents (and I don't just mean mine. I'm grateful for ALL good parents)
Heros (not the food or the TV show...just the people)
Ice cream
Just because flowers (I love getting flowers for no reason, so Brandon and I call them "Just because" flowers)
Katie
Love
Moms
Nose touching (When something is funny, I automatically touch my nose and cover my mouth! I don't know why, but I'm grateful for all the laughs this involuntary reaction has caused throught the years!)
old stories
Philip
Quiet time
Reading
Spring
Traveling
Unquestionable faith
Very hot chocolate
Walking Bruno
X-box (for keeping the hubby out of my hair and watching instant movies from Netflix)
Yams from my grandmother (Okay, during the Y2K scare back in 1999, my grandmother, Grana, was so concerned that I wasn't stockpiling food for the possible breakdown of society that she forced me to take this gigantic can of yams from her so I would at least have some little thing to eat until I could get back to her. It was so sweet and funny that I kept the yams until 2007.)
Zorro (I just finished reading Isabelle Allende's book Zorro. It's a great read and I highly reccomend it.)
