Hooray for Gratitude!

1.  Sitting at Angel Falls Coffee Shop in Akron, Ohio on a Monday morning

2.  With my cup of rose tea

3.  Being greeted by a friend of mine upon arrival

4.  my laptop set up on the chess table

5.  Writing in my journal at 750words.com

6.  Coming up with new fun things to do

7.  What if you were stranded on a desert island and thought you had lost everything forever, but you got rescued.  Then you got your house, car, clothes, and everything back!  And you could be reunited with everyone you love!  How great would that be?  Just spend a while thinking about that, and spend your day in appreciation for everyone and everything you have!  Wow!

8.  Choose a day to declare a holiday for yourself.  I am going to make a holiday jar with strips of paper including an iTunes holiday where I am going to transfer lots of CDs into my iTunes accounts; a reading day where I am going to read at home, at the library, at the park – wherever I want, for as long as I want; a day for doing whatever I want.  Then I can use my holiday jar as a reward or a stress reliever.  Hooray!

9.  Just had a marvelous conversation with a friend — she is a power friend, the kind that words together are always empowering!  Yippee!

10.  Sometimes a morning is so terrific that it is almost embarrassing to continue the day — as if you have already used up your fun points early!  Thank you to the Dispenser of All Fun Points for this Amazing Day!

  1. Carol, thanks for more words to start my day on a bright note! And what a great way for you to begin your day, at the coffee shop with a delightful friend! I just know that your “fun points” continue on until your head hits the pillow at night! :) Blessings, Jean

  2. As I always say, my lovely Carol, you never cease to amaze me with your creativity. I am going to take time to create cupcakes with my new frosting gadget. Yipee!!!!
