Happy Sunday! Today I encourage you to join me in carving out a few minutes and dedicating them to a focus on gratitude for our abundance of blessings. I can promise you that cultivating a thankful heart is life-changing!
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!
- Remembrance Day and the opportunity to recognize those who sacrificed their lives in service to our country.
- Encouraging and uplifting news from our newly-elected Canadian government: a diverse cabinet with equal gender representation, elected officials being readily available to speak to the media, government scientists now being able to freely and publicly talk about their work.
- Hope over despair.
- Beauty in nature: orange leaves contrasted against a clear blue sky; bright yellow leaves reflecting the sun; the filigreed silhouette of almost-bare tree branches.
- Friends with whom I can enjoy fun experiences.
- Being able to combine my weekend, my usual Monday off, a vacation day, and a statutory holiday into a five-day break from work.
- My crazy, competent, supportive co-workers.
- A good, strong, hot cup of black coffee in the morning.
- Hours spent making art while listening to a really good audiobook.
- Musicians who create wonderful music.
Now it’s your turn!
