ginnyde Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I think we should do this everyday. Oprah had it with some lady who called in a 'gratitude' journal, I think. 1. My best friend Jackie 2. A neighbor who plows my driveway cheaply. 3. The flea market in work (helps unload stuff and make a couple of $) 4. A note I found in Earl's toiletry kit this am that I had written to him and that he had kept for so long 5. Becky's great idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebbie Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Ginny -- I love your Top 5 -- especially the note that Earl has kept for so long -- that must truly warm your heart! OK -- my 5 of the day? 1. The snow delay that gave me an extra two hours at home with my family this morning 2. Looking out my kitchen window at the beautiful winter scene landscaping our lawns and trees. I captured the moment with a photo 3. My co-workers making me laugh with our recap of last night's disastrous "Bachelorette" finale 4. The lunch seminar that provided YUMMY salads -- preventing me from having to buy lunch 5. The thought of leaving work in an hour and picking up my son to play in the snow together!!

kickincancer Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I love this idea. Sometimes we take for granted all things to be thankful for, keeping the list each day will only remind us. 1. Being at home with my family today 2. Sesame Street (keeps my son occupied and is great for his little mind) 3. My parents and sister 4. My grandma who walked me thru making gravy (and it was great) 5. A warm home on such a cold day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My secretary (gotta seperate her out from my co-workers) who prays for my mom all the time, and also all of you, especially the Chapmans right now and who marched into my office and asked me today "so when are you due for your period" so she can track my fertility too 4. My 3 sisters (not biological)--you know who you are 5. Buddy the cute dog who my mom says is laying on the kitchen table right now in one of his many beds.
