What I'm Grateful For?

In 2013, I meet up with my friend, Sandra at our church. We meet up for lunch and started talking about our day, life, families, and friends. For some reason, I was telling Sandra that tend to think negative thoughts more than positive thoughts about myself. She asked me a question if I have ever done journal writing. I told her no. What I am going to do is write about what I’m grateful for, however, I felt stuck. One day, I tried this exercise and stopped because it was hard for me. However, I finally made writing in my journal as a routine for me. It was hard in the beginning, but little by little, I got better at writing positive praises down. When, I go back and read what I wrote I feel good about myself.

So, these are the ten praises that I wrote of what I was grateful for.

1. I’m grateful for my family and friends.
2. I’m grateful for my health.
3. I’m grateful to be happy, alive, and well.
4. I’m grateful to be involved with my church and community.
5. I’m grateful to help other people who are in need.
6. I’m grateful for new opportunities – like my job.
7. I’m grateful for being a good listener to others.
8. I’m grateful for having a roof over my head, clothes to wear, and food to eat.
9. I’m grateful for being me and having a beautiful heart.
10. I’m grateful for having God in my life – 24/7 – he is always there.

Amen!
