I don't know if anyone reads the Simple Abundance book, but yesterday's page was about doing the graditude journal. She says you should write down a few things each day that you are grateful for. I think I really need to do that, and we should start it here!
Today, I am grateful for:
My cute, new haircut I got yesterday.
My comfy bed and warm down comforter, where I got a great night's sleep last night.
I get to go see Mama Mia with friends tonight.
I know God would not give me something I cannot handle.
OK! Thanks! : )

OK, I am feeling especially icky today (met making me sick and killer cramps!) so I think I really need this.
I am thankful for:
Music to tap my feet to, sing to, and get me through the day.
It's Friday -- I have the weekend to see friends, relax and have fun!
My car -- it's really good in the snow and keeps me warm!
Pay day is today -- going to get groceries tomorrow and having the girls for dinner!

OK, I am going to have to work a little harder today than I did on Friday.
Today, I am grateful for:
My warm coffee
My cute outfit that I think was looking pretty nice this morning after working out on Sat. and Sun.!
My BF's parents, who are so sweet and loving to me always and who are going on a tough trip this week.
My mom, who will be 58 on Wed.!
My DBF, who is always working so hard, and I love even though I didn't get to see him this weekend. (Lives 100 miles away and is a sportswriter in the midst of a very busy basketball season!)
My very successful dinner party on Sat.!
(Whew! I had a lot more than I though!)

I'll join in . I think everyone should remind themselves that there is plently in their lives to be thankful for and not acknowledging that can be just as bad for your health as any physical problem you may have!!
I'm thankful for:
1. sticking with my exercise routine
2. recently reconnecting with an old friend
3. my cute & cuddly & talkative cat!!!
4. my brother & his wife are now pregnant w/their first
5. my close friend of 10 yrs & how we've managed to grow together & remain constantly in touch
6. the colorful birds & goofy squirrels that eat the food I set outside for them
7. SNOW!!!! and it's beauty
8. plants that make the room beautiful
9. my 18 month old dreadlocks!!! YES!!
10. family, friends, & strangers that encourage me
11. Finally finding a plan that works to fix this hormone problem!
I am thankful that Olympia posted to my simple abundance thread today -- yay! :p
