Today’s Gratitude List – Linkup No. 44

in Me & My Life

What’s on your gratitude list as we bid farewell to August and look ahead to fall? I’m grateful for the ever-nearing opportunity I’ll have to see my family and some old friends when I visit Victoria in October – now that September is practically here, it seems like my trip is that much closer, and I’m getting more and more excited about it!

Hope you’ll join me in this week’s Gratitude Linkup!

Gratitude - Brian Tracy

(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!

  • Having the strength and commitment to stay on a healthy path of eating and exercise.
  • Discovering the “You Need A Budget” site, software, and apps as a result of planning for the likely demise of the financial management app I’ve been using for years. Sometimes something great can come from what seemed at first like something horrible! (Watch this space for at least one future post extolling the many virtues of YNAB!)
  • The service and friendliness of the owners and staff at our fabulous neighbourhood pharmacy.
  • The fact that Oscar has become sweeter than usual and so very cuddly with me lately. There’s nothing quite like a cat who loves and wants to be near you!
  • The people who put their time, effort, and creativity into organizing groups, challenges, and linkups – such as NaBloPoMo, the Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge, Write Tribe, Photo Friday, and Midlife Boulevard. I am thankful for the benefits that each brings my way as I get involved and participate – motivation, blogging support and networking, ideas, resources, creativity stretching… the list goes on and on!
  • Having one of my photos chosen as a top pic – a rare occurrence that always makes my day.
  • Talented friends who share their gifts with the world.
  • Living in an air conditioned home, particularly when the city is in the middle of a heat warning.
  • Owning a laptop and enjoying its flexibility.
