It’s been a crazy busy day of rushing around from here to there and back again, so I’m dashing in with a VERY quick post to share the gratitude linkup and invite you to add your own posts, lists, and comments. I do love hearing from you all!
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!
- A successful start to my new work schedule (AND a nice way to ease in to the additional hours, with only two days of work before my vacation!).
- Paid vacation time.
- My extremely cooperative co-workers, who completed everything I needed from them before the usual deadlines so that I could get my own work finished before leaving for my time off.
- Cold water to drink whenever I’m thirsty.
- Getting things done.
- The freedom and privilege to vote in the upcoming Canadian election.
Now it’s your turn!
How to get involved in the Gratitude Linkup

Well, it’s not a NEW job – just more hours – so I actually know my colleagues rather well! And they are nice. 🙂

I love that picture, Laurel.
Sometimes, we don’t see the beauty in the small things right before us.

You’ve picked such simple things to be grateful for – things we take for granted. Congratulations on the new job and that paid vacation sounds great too.

It’s not actually a new job – I’ve worked there for years! – just more hours. And yes, paid vacation is wonderful. 🙂

Yesterday, the sun came out and my husband and I were able to enjoy the first fall colors. Took a short drive, got some cornstalks, put our scarecrow up in the front yard, and my son helped to fix a door. It really was a good day.

Well here I am on your site again. I just happened to chose your post from BlogHer to read. I must like something about your titles? lol.
Maybe I should subscribe!
I like this idea of posting what I’m grateful for and I will add it to my own blog. I work on it this evening after the kids are (hopefully) sleeping.
Thanks for sharing!

Thankyou for sharing such a beautiful sentiment, Lauren.
I’ve had an exceptionally good day, because I just found out I got a judge commendation on the Bath Flash Fiction award. But what I’m really grateful for are my friends, who’re supporting and cheering me on. It’s true, today I had a moment of real awareness of my blessings.
Thanks again, and hope to stay in touch via our blogs.

well I’m a bit confused and lost with all the emails that come into my mail box. Does one link up to Corinne’s Gratitude Circle or Vidya’s Gratitude Circle or yours?
I can’t find the link up to Corinne’s so I’m posting mine here :

There are so many linkups, it does get confusing! Mine is posted every week, and I believe the Gratitude Circle post (totally separate linkup) is posted once a month. I usually add a Gratitude Circle badge to the bottom of my gratitude posts, linking it to either Corinne’s and Vidya’s post for the month.
