"Our life is what our thoughts make it"

So LET'S make it GOOD!

Just pause. Take a moment to shift your awareness to the abundance in your life. Feel the goodness that everything around you can offer. Share your appreciations for today with us :) I appreciate Sarah Dwiizie for describing what this is all about, perfectly. Abundance.


For today, I appreciate:

~seeing a friend over the weekend that has moved away
~the game we played, "dicecapades"
~starting new hoop classes today
~the sunny, mild weather in Memphis over the weekend
~setting a goal to start a yoga practice again and actually doing it! Went to my second class on Sat.
~biking
~being motivated every day to be healthier, mentally and physically
~being sore (from yoga and biking) and loving it. It's a good sore :)

Looking forward to reading yours :) And thankful for the Daily Happiness forum :)

I appreciate that my father's surgery went well over thanksgiving and he is still healthy and happy with us for the Christmas season. I appreciate all the love and support in my life. I am thankful that my doctor gives me free samples of my medications that total over $1000 a month when I have no health insurance. Between my doctor and my pharmacist and my mother's awesome social work background, they have taken care of me this last year and I am so very grateful. It is so important to appreciate all of life's blessings. 

That sounds nice Kathryn :)

For me, today:

 

~Our electrical problems in our house finally getting fixed.  Stuff has been out of whack for a while and it culminated in an outage on Saturday night - and all we wanted to do was watch movies.  However, we called it in and left for ice cream, and upon returning the crew was there and it was fixed in no time! 

 

~being sans internet for most of the weekend...

 

~Dogfish Head Bitches Brew.  Had the pleasure of drinking one last night.  Delicious.

 

~Dexter.  Although the season is over :(

 

Oh, today.  Oh, Hoop City :)

 

~getting on HoopCity LESS.  Wow.  It was really exciting and fun for a span, and there were a lot of good discussions going on... but whew!  I was on here way too much, and I said - hey, I need to step away.  And I did.  And it is nice!  The internet can consume you, and it's nice to fill time with other interactions and activities!  So I appreciate that! 

~turning my day completely around yesterday

~being in the midst of the holidays.  being busy!  and knowing soon relaxation will take over!

~appreciation, compassion, mindfulness, and love.

~feeling awake and fresh this morning!

Unfortunately, folks have stopped writing daily gratitudes.. but so it goes..discussions live and they die.  New things come around.  :)  I shall continue this, even if it's just for myself ;-)

 

For me, on this sunny December day, I appreciate:

~friends. 

~thoughtful and beautiful gifts.

~gift giving.

~flat out delicious, homemade food.

~dreams of adventure.  Soon to come true, I hope!

~the creativity I am kindling in the hoop.

Being able to read all of this without glasses or contacts <3

I appreciate the universe helping me out today. My goal was to serve people with love and gratitude as I worked all day today (serving at a restaurant). Then as I was walking in, some guy raced a few steps to open the restaurant door for me, and tell me to have a wonderful day. He wasn't even coming in the restaurant, just passing by.

 

Definitely started my day off right, even though I was cranky from no sleep, and having to work a split shift on Christmas eve.

today, for my family....and my totally awesome Chia hat :D

Feenix:  I wish I could read without glasses or contacts :-/  maybe one day ;-)

 

~keeping my brain sharp with brain games.. check out lumosity.com if you're interested.

~leaving for my annual trip to Chicago in 2 days.  thankyouthankyouthankyou.

~the amazing music I will see on this trip

~seeing this year come to a close, and ready for 2011.

~Umphrey's McGee .. if you have never heard of them, I highly suggest checking out their music.  Umphreys.com is a great place to start, they have downloadable podcasts with live show bits for free there. Or just go to Chicago for NYE!

Today I'm grateful for:

-happy giggles of glee from my small kiddos riding their new toys

-healthy family, healthy mind, and working on healthy body

-simple pleasures like an early morning snuggle

-being present -- this one's a hard one for me, and I'm working on it this year.

~settling in to 2011.  Excited to see what's in store. 

~anticipation of creativity flourishing this year!

~Memphis water.  If you come here, do yourself a favor and drink up! :)

~Monday workday ALMOST over.  The sun is shining and I can't wait to be free for the rest of the day.  What to do?  Maybe go for a bike ride.  Cook a delicious-nutritious meal.  Drink some wine.  Write in my journal.  Start a creative project with my housemates.  And hoop a bit. yesyesyes, please!
