Thankful Thursday - the Blissdom version

Week three of Thankful Thursday. An exercise in gratitude. A chance to be thankful.

I've heard (and tried) the idea of a gratitude journal. I LOVE the idea. You write down 3 things everyday that you are grateful for. But the task was daunting and became more of a burden that I wasn't so thankful for.

What if?

What if, on Thursday, you write down ONE thing you are grateful for from the past week. ONE THING. It doesn't have to be something huge. It doesn't have to be something with a huge WOW factor. But something YOU are grateful for.

I helps me to "say it". To write it down. Because at that point you have already spent time thinking about it, you actually will recall several things to be grateful for...but no huge pressure to categorize it into another "to do" thing.

So for this THIRD Thursday of expressing gratitude I am sitting on the patio of my room at the Opryland Hotel for the Blissdom conference. I am overwhelmed. I am inspired. I am exhausted. BUT...I am thankful for

CONNECTIONS.

I have met a couple people that have made such a huge impact on me! I have spent time with people who I have only known by their "twitter" handle, and now they are "real". (well they were real before, but you know what I mean!) 

It was what I needed when I needed it...you know?

What are YOU grateful for today?
