Attitude of Gratitude

It's been a rough couple of days. No need to rehash what made it rough, just suffice it to say, It Was Rough.

It was so rough I yelled at a friend.  I shouldn't have. Now I need to find a way to mend that.

But Yesterday also brought me phone calls from the most unexpected places.  Voices that lifted me up. Voices that said, "I care." Voices that reaffirmed my desire to live my life with an Attitude of Gratitude.

Today I am thankful for:
* Coffee -- it tops the list this AM. After waking up with a headache, the caffeine is starting to work its way into my system and relieve the pressure in my head.
* Quiet Mornings -- I have the house to myself this AM and it is quiet, except for the Wren.
* The Wren's song -- Yes he has been on the deck singing his heart out this morning.  (If you've never heard a Carolina Wren, here is a video I found on You Tube). He may be small, but he is loud. 
*Friends -- Over the last few days they have lifted my spirits and helped me to refocus on what is important in my life. They have called just to check in, and to tell me I am loved.  I am more than loved. I am truly blessed to have them in my life.
*The Rain -- If every day was sunny we would live in a desert. The rain will help my grass to get green. It will help my flowers to grow. And hopefully it will wash away some of the dirt off of my driveway and side walks.


What are you thankful for today? Have you told anyone?
