The Little Things I’m Grateful For

When times are tough (like now), it can help to acknowledge the good things we’re grateful for. Some days are harder than others, and on those days, I try to focus on the little things I’m grateful for. The everyday ones that I would suffer without.

That I was blessed to enjoy the company of two beautiful dogs.

And a husband who after 24 years, can still make me laugh. And is the dispenser of the best hugs.

The red linen tunic I bought on May 29, 2014 that is STILL going strong. Even though I keep thinking I should replace it before it malfunctions.

Home made pizza, burgers, hotdogs and meatballs.

Mmmm… Meatballs.

Flowers that pop up in the garden for a while and then disappear.

Books

That I could follow my dreams and write books. And stories. And poems. And this blog.

Big and small, there’s a lot to be grateful for.

What are you grateful for?
