99 Things I’m Grateful For
As Thanksgiving weekend winds down, I’m excited to finish off the year strong! On Thanksgiving day, I had a much appreciated day off that started with hiking Cowles Mountain in the morning, cooking nourishing food to share and relaxing in the evening with important people in my life. The rest of the weekend was spent working on my social media marketing business, catching up with chores and meeting up with old friends who were in town. Even though I had a fabulous time, I know there are a lot of negative feelings in the world right now.
With so much negativity, I thought I would share a positive practice I’ve adopted. For the last couple years, I start almost every day off with writing down 10 things I’m grateful for in my Gratitude Journal. This really sets the tone for me to have a great day. I compiled my list into 1 long list of 99 things I’m grateful for to inspire you to discover new things to be thankful for too.
