Week two 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 SECOND Thursday of expressing gratitude...I am thankful for
FRIENDSHIP.
I have been amazed in several ways this week by my friends. I mean AH-mazed!
I am so grateful for each and every person that calls me a friend. I'm not always easy to get to know...I can be quiet and shy (hush...really, it's true) but that sometimes comes off as "snobby". I'm not...at all. Just easily intimidated by YOU!
But if you are my friend? I am FIERCELY loyal...like a Golden Retriever. Maybe that is why I have golden retrievers. I digress.
What are YOU grateful for today?

You stole my thunder Lisa. The first word that came to mind when I read the fb post was friends, so that is what I am thankful for this week.
