Gratitude

Last night, another mom and I taught a lesson on gratitude to a group of girls ages 10 to almost 13. I remember years ago hearing about a Gratitude Journal on Oprah, buying one and doing it every single night. In case you missed that, it was a pretty book and you could buy a matching journal to write five things you were grateful for each day. Somewhere along the line I either misplaced the book or got out of the habit. Probably about the time I got pregnant or had a baby.

But talking to the girls last night reminded me how much I take for granted. That is, I don't always express my gratitude as much as I should. A heartfelt word of thanks can go a long way.

We all had to make resolutions to do in the next three days. Here's one of mine:

I want to thank all of you who read this blog. I know how precious time is and I appreciate you stopping by to my little spec in the vast cyberworld.

To those who post comments, thank you, thank you, thank you! I love hearing what you think and what's going in on your life. I often speak of you to my family. You're known as mommy's blog friends!

Love,
Melissa
