I am currently reading The Secret. As usual, I start to doubt such books because I both hate and like them and I cannot conceive the fact of hatred and liking at the same time. But I am thinking happy thoughts, and I am being thankful every day for what I have. So I wanted to make a list and invite you to make one too.
I am thankful for:
- being me.
- being alive and healthy.
- having a wonderful, loving and understanding husband who makes me happy and complete, who supports me, tells me what he thinks, tells me to hold it when I need to hear it…
- having two wonderful little boys who are beautiful and healthy and are the joy of my life.
- having healthy, imperfect parents who are still able to shower their love on our kids
- having a large extended family spread all over the world
- living in a country without war and that is safe
- living in the countryside and being able to snuff in the good that nature does
- having a wonderful, big house that fits our needs and wishes
- having a big garden for our boys to play in
- having a job that pays the bills
- speaking lots of languages which has often gotten me a job and lets me communicate with people
- having friends that are there for me when I need them and even when I don’t need them, that I trust and that trust me
- being able to create (paint, take pictures, sing, write)
- being wiser than I was before
- owning a car that doesn’t stutter on a cold morning
- being able to hug my loved ones and see them as often as I want
- being able to hear, smell, see, feel, taste
- being able and enjoying working out
…to be continued…
So what are you thankful for today?
Why gratitude makes you happier and wealthier
A funny article by Emily Yoffe about what happened when she followed The Secret’s advice for two months.
Hi Mimi!
I’m thankful for my family, my health, and for wonderful friends who make my days all worth living. And, I’m thankful for knowing you, also! You are a big part of the good in this world!
What a terrific list!
I haven’t visited your blog in a while because of pressing projects, but I want you to know how great I think it looks. Both look and content. Well done.
