Gratitude Attitude

I was fidgeting with the remote control and found out that one of the prettiest celebrity that I admire, Demi is  drowning her sorrow or frustration with medication. Adorned with fame, wealth and success she still manage to be human and vulnerable behind the camera.  We complain once in a while that we are less happy in life.   We wanted to have a quick fix.  Happiness isn't an over the counter remedy. Even the once with a fatter bank account can't remain to be happy all the time.  Is this given or life is just an ascending scale?

To minimize this reality I take a step  to continue my Gratitude Attitude Journal. In our last Book Club, Simple Abundance,  we were encourage to write daily about the things we are thankful for. We even get a colourful notebook and pen to do the exercise.  Now, I'd like to share virtually what I am thankful for. 
  1. I am thankful for being born.
  2. ...for having a wonderful family.
  3. ...for having a loving husband.
  4. ...for having healthy kids.
  5. ...for having a roof over my head.
  6. ...for having an overall well-being.
  7. ...for having a cuddly pet.
  8. ...for having a working car.
  9. ...for living in a safe neighbourhood.
  10. ...for having a sustainable income.
  11. ...for having food in my belly.
  12. ...for having a warm blanket at night.
  13. ...for having colleagues/friends.
  14. ...for having enjoyable hobbies.
  15. ..for living in a historic city.
  16. ..that my kids get along in playing the Monopoly game.
  17. ..that my husband take time to bake a Banana Cream Pudding for me to taste after my volunteer job.
  18. ..for the vegetarian chili that my husband prepared for supper.
  19. ..for not being lazy and write on my blog tonight.
  20. ..for my sorority/book clubbers/ bloggers etc.  We are sharing our 31 Day Challenge on Monday and express inspiration and support for each other.
