I know, I know. Anyone who has read or even gone near a copy of "The Secret" is rolling their eyes right now. Okay, now that you're done, hear me out on this.
It's Sunday morning. We've just finished the Thanksgiving holiday festivities, put up the snowman explosion that counts as Christmas decor in my house (well, my sister put up the decorations...I don't decorate), and have finally gotten all of the "real" dishes we've dragged out back where they'll live until Christmas dinner. It's quiet this morning. The Westies are sleeping next to me on the couch. (Trust me when I tell you the couch is full up with me and three Westies!) My laundry is churning in the washer and tossing in the dryer.
As I'm sitting here, I find myself in total amazement at the quiet beauty of this house, these pups, my weekend chores. And, I am thankful that I have the luxury of sitting here like this. I am thankful for this house, for this silly snowman explosion that reminds me how much my Mother loves Christmas, and for the great thing that is owning one's washer and dryer. I am truly thankful I don't have to schlep my skivvies to the laundromat!
I am thankful for the five days off from work I've had. I am thankful. Today, I have an attitude of gratitude. The trick is keeping that attitude when I'm stressed out at work...
What are you thankful for today?
I love that you are sharing the simple thihs you are thankful for. I like to do the same thing. I truly feel that when we have this "attitude of gratitude" then even greater blessings come to us (that's very "Secret-ess" too, insn't it).
