The Gratitude List
Cory Chalmers

Hi All!
Sorry I have been so absent lately, things are just extremely busy for me right now. I have been working with a business coach and he is helping me as a person, not just a businessman. With that being said, I want to share with you one of the exercises he has been having me do daily which I think has helped me a lot deal with the stresses of every day life. Each day for 21 days, I write down 3 things I am grateful for. That's it! Why is this important? We all tend to hold onto the negative things in life, instead of stepping back and appreciating everything that is good in our lives. I encourage you to try this, and remind yourself everything you have in your life that you are grateful for. It can be anything and everything from your health, to friends on this board, a beating heart, a roof over your head, etc. I think you can all find this helpful in reeling in the emotions that can cause us undue stress each day. Make your own list and post it here for the next 21 days. Can you commit to that?

My daily list:
1) God
2) My Family
3) My Health

Lets see yours now 🙂

I am grateful that my son was able to go back to work. He is not supposed to lift more than 30 lbs. so he can't do everything and doesn't know how many hours they will schedule him for. But he worked long enough to earn enough to pay the water bill.
...and I am grateful to be able to hear the frogs singing every night. Their songs are strong with all the rain we've had.

I am grateful for all of you ((hugs)) and glad to see your post, Roxie.

I've been hiking daily with my pup for a little while now and it has sort of been serving as meditation time for me. I really am one of those people who feels reenergized by nature and I feel myself coming alive when I'm out there. I am so very grateful that I am physically able to hike, that I have all of my senses to appreciate the beauty of my surroundings, and that I have the love of this little puppy and am able to take care of him and give him what he needs.
