Thankful Five

Every Monday I set aside some time to think of five things I am thankful for.  Most of the time the things I am thankful for are simple day to day blessings.

I enjoy creating this list every week because no matter what mood I am in, or how I am feeling, it serves as a wonderful reminder of all that I have to be thankful for.

  • I am thankful for caring and supportive Twitter friends.
  • I am thankful for inspirational ideas.
  • I am thankful for feeling good!

This is my very favorite part of the week…It is my time to list the things I am thankful for.  The reason I enjoy Thankful Five so much, is that it reminds me to take stock of the little things in my life that I am grateful for.  It is totally about the positive; my thoughts, my attitude, people I love, and a lot more.

I hope that all of you are taking some time every week to make a list of the things you are thankful for.  You are also welcome to share your lists here, if you feel comfortable, or contact me with your list to have put placed in a post.
