This weekend is wrapping up and so is this challenge. It’s been quite a ride and I am so glad you came along on this ride with me. Sharing a small sample of what I’m thankful for really gave me an opportunity to reflect on what’s truly important to me. This exercise was inclusive […]
Gratitude Challenge – Thankful For My Car
Today I am thankful for my car. I know it sounds a bit materialistic, but I truly love it (and that’s an understatement!) I have always loved cars since I was a little girl. I’ve had a dream car since I can remember. My love of cars started early because my father used to […]
Are You Giving Back This Thanksgiving?
I have a confession to make. Every year, I always donate food and/or give money to the Thanksgiving food drive. However, this year for some reason, I completely got caught up in my own agenda that I didn’t do what I intended to do. You see, every year at my church we have Harvest Sunday, […]
Gratitude Challenge – I’m Thankful For Insurance
Today I am thankful for insurance. Now before we get into a debate over the current state of affairs, I want to say that this isn’t the case here. I’m here to talk about my experience with having insurance versus not having insurance. I’m not going to talk about the flaws of any system, I’m not going […]
Gratitude Challenge – I’m Thankful For Education
I am thankful for my educational path. It wasn’t easy but it certainly is worth it. For starters, I am thankful I have two parents who sacrificed a lot to give me the best education they could. My parents sent me to private schools until I hit college; but before you get all […]
Gratitude Challenge – I Love Amusement Parks
Whew! We’re in the home stretch! This may come as a surprise, but there are MANY things I am thankful for and one of them is: (ready for this?) AMUSEMENT PARKS. I love a good thrill every now and then. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever outgrow these parks. What’s ironic is I’m slightly afraid […]
Gratitude Challenge – I’m Thankful For Music
I am thankful for music. There’s something about a melodic tune that elicits certain responses. I have quite a collection of music on my iPod and I’m always amazed at how certain music fits my mood at a particular moment and how my mood fits certain music that’s playing. Music is also powerful in that […]
Gratitude Challenge – I’m Thankful For Technology
I am thankful for technology. Yes it’s true I was able to survive with much less for some portion of my life, but I have to admit technology (both current and emerging) certainly has made life MUCH easier! Unfortunately, it’s a bit of a double-edged sword because technology can also be our downfall. With the […]
Gratitude Challenge – I’m Thankful For My Health
I am thankful for my health. I feel very fortunate that I don’t have any ailments that have rendered me incapacitated to live life to its fullest. My heart goes out to those with debilitating diseases and those with lifelong diseases which are incurable and some even fatal. I’ve always had this running joke that […]
Gratitude Challenge – Grateful For Loved Ones
I am thankful for the ability to spend time with my loved ones…not just on holidays but other days as well. I truly feel for those who don’t have that privilege. Granted, I know that some people choose NOT to spend time with family because of strife that may be present; or some don’t have […]
