This has been a busy week, and an even busier one is looming ahead. Busy isn’t necessarily bad – particularly when much of the busy-ness involves doing fun things and spending time with friends – but it can get in the way of taking the time to practice gratitude. This post is here to encourage each of us to do just that – stop for a moment, and contemplate our blessings.
(If you’d like a bit of background on why I started the Gratitude Linkup, check out this post.)

My Gratitude List
In no particular order, here is my own gratitude list for this moment in time. I hope that after reading it you’ll go on to write and share your own!
- The affirmation of having one of my posts syndicated on BlogHer.
- Being part of not one, but two book clubs that choose interesting books and have great discussions.
- Opportunities to help, to make a difference in someone’s life.
- Our sweet, bratty, dirty cats who, despite their mischievous ways, bring us so much joy and love.
- Coffee.
- Supportive and encouraging internet communities for writers and bloggers.
