Gratitude Challenge Day Two: Amy's A to Z

In no particular order....unless you count alphabetical order, then yes, they are in some sort of order:

A - Acceptance that where you are is where you are supposed to be.
B - Bananas. Tasty. Versatile. AND come in their own little case.
C - Choices. We have so many while some have so few.
D - Dark Chocolate.
E - Elementary school friends that have that way of reminding you of "home" even after years and
years of time and distance
F - Friends and family that make me laugh and inspire me.
G - Growing older and realizing no one is perfect so get over it.
H - Husband. In particular, mine. He rocks.
I - Imogen Heap's lovely voice.
J - Jon Stewart. He cracks me up.
K - Knives. Makes cutting things much easier.
L - Laughter.
M - Music. One of life's greatest gifts.
N - NIA. Exercise that is as much for the mind as the body.
O - Operation Shower. The people I serve with and the people we serve. I am blessed by it daily.
P - Panic Disorder. Even though it can hinder me, it has also strengthened me in many ways and made me much more compassionate.
Q - Quiet time in the car on the way to the office.
R - Rain Showers on lazy Saturdays.
S - Sooner Football. Boomer Sooner!
T - Trust. If A is for acceptance that where you are is where you are supposed to be than T is for Trusting that you will make it through anything.
U - United States Citizenship. While we may not be perfect and we all may not agree, the simple fact of being born in this country allows a big portion of this list to even be possible.
V - Voices that my husband and I talk in that make us laugh.
W - wonderful women I've met online via my Stem Parties blog.
X - Wow. Xerox copier help desk support.
Y - You.
Z - Zeriously? I thought "X" was hard. Um, Ziploc baggies. Thank you for keeping my snacks fresh.

Attitude of Gratitude



Dear 234 Blog Followers over there on the side of my blog,

I seeeeeeee you.

Who wants to join me in the 21 Day Gratitude Challenge?

I mean, sure, I have my moments of self-pity and downright cranky ank, but overall I think I do a pretty good job of always remembering that it could always be worse. In fact, my husband would probably tell you I can be annoying about that. Like when he's having computer problems or something similar and I chime in, "some people don't even have clean water...." Need to work on my timing.

But, I digress. The first day of the Challenge is to state why you accepted it and what you hope to achieve.

I am accepting the 21 Day Gratitude Challenge (via Tiny Prints...holla) to be ever more mindful and present in the every day moments. To let go of the bad and focus on the good. To live from a place of abundance. To get out of my own way. To let you all know that I am grateful for you and your sweet emails and comments.

Love to have you join me! Let me know if you accept the challenge and let's see how great we can make the next 3 weeks!

Cheers (clink),
Amy
