Gratitude List 2024

Every November I list things for which I am thankful. It is only 30 things and there are more that could be listed. It is not exhaustive, of course. A list of anything can never be fully quantified or complete. It is a practice that Jim and I started when we were first married. We have used prompts, added devotional thoughts and simply made ABC lists. The thing is that, while it may seem like the same list every year, and it even may come across as trite it is not. I am so thankful for so much and a list is a minimal reminder to count blessings, to remember and reflect and to change perspective.

The thing is that the more I am thankful for the more I am thankful.

I could just reprint the same list each year as each thing I have listed over the years is still something for which I am thankful. But there is something about the habit of thinking about and sharing that has a myriad of benefits. It may be overkill but I am going to make a gratitude list on Steroids this year….

A list everyday:

Random – ABC –  Often overlooked – Little Things – Only God  – Humans – Friends  – Funny – Places – Foods – Teachers – Entertainment (the Arts) – today – A-Z – Facts/ Truths  – Family – Nature – Health – Books – Verses – Me – History – Photos – Memories – Cross Cultural – In Adversity – Inventions – Things I want to learn to be thankful for – TBD –

Wait and see that the Lord is good and join me in profuse gratitude this month!
