Attitude of Gratitude
My friend Patty (on a weight loss message board), set a theme for this week, to find things for which we can be grateful this week. It's good topic for me, because some things happened that were making me feel un-grateful this week, so focusing on that topic each day will help me to dump the junk in my trunk.
The one big thing I'm most grateful for is that I'm starting to get out more, and have been sowing the seeds for making some new friends: The lady at the gourmet shop who offered me a job last week is someone who could become a friend, the sisters I met at a political event, the candidate I met, my new co-worker, and the young couple who will be moving in next door.
I'm also grateful to be working again. It feels so good to get out of the house and do something constructive and sociable.
