Today’s Gratitude List + November 2015 Gratitude Linkup

by Laurel Storey on November 15, 2015
in Me & My Life

This has been a horrific week in our world, full of violence and heartbreak and loss of life. At times like this I often struggle with expressing gratitude – not because I’m not grateful (quite the opposite, in fact), but because my trivial little lists seem so meaningless in the face of such tragedy. Still, I believe in this practice, no matter what. Peace begins in my heart.

Gratitude - Barry Neil Kaufman

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!

  • Celebrating 16 years of marriage with Peter.
  • Receiving sweet and generous anniversary gifts and wishes from family.
  • Our vibrant, up-and-coming, and constantly evolving neighbourhood – streetscape improvements, community activities, buildings being purchased and restored, new businesses opening, established businesses thriving – the list goes on and on. So glad and grateful we chose this part of town when we moved to Windsor.
  • The opportunity to be a part of a drawing class and learn new skills.
  • Sharing fun social times with friends.
  • Having a three-day weekend every week.
  • Continued transparency and hopeful news from our Canadian government, this week in the form of ministerial mandate letters released to the public.
  • Acts of kindness and compassion in the midst of turmoil.
  • Love.

Now it’s your turn!
