Gratitude

12/7/10

Wow, I had no idea that it had been so long since I last journaled.  I’ve been feeling prompted lately, like I need to keep a record of the things I am grateful for.  I think it might change my attitude a little bit, and maybe make me more aware of what I want to choose to work on. 

Today I incredibly happy because David and I bought a Christmas tree last night – a real tree.  It is tiny (3 ½ feet), in order to fit into our apartment and our budget, but it is real and it fills our apartment with the smell of pine and Christmas.  We have our presents under it.  Every time I think of it, I smile to myself and feel like telling someone.  I am so happy to have our own Christmas tree.

I am also happy that I have a job that I continue to love, that I feel like I am doing well at.  I have all the possessions I could possibly want.  I have a husband who adores me.  I love to be with him, doing just about anything.  I am incredibly blessed.
