I have been trying the “gratitude list” thing for the past month now.
In the rendition that I was shone, when you wake up in the morning, you are supposed to make a list of 10 things you are grateful for, but you cannot repeat the same thing day after day. You gotta come up with new ideas. Makes sense, because I can see people cheating at this and putting down their spouse, or kids, or dog… maybe not in that order. The point is that you start off the day on a positive note, listing what you have, or what’s working on your life, or what you have in abundance.
I won’t lie, it kind’a works. And I say kind’a because you have to have the right attitude for it.
Here are a few funny things that I have gratitude for at 5:30am on most weekeday:
Pasta
Bacon
Socks without holes
Gum
Quiet Neighbors
Growing Up
A/C
Hugs
Pep Talks
Flirting
JUst to name a few…
