I assume people start this type of challenge on
January 1st, another New Year's resolution to add to the pile... However, I've
been struggling with gratitude a ton lately, and with Thanksgiving right around
the corner it seemed fitting to start now.
Still, that rambling intro doesn't really answer
the "why" part of the prompt. The short version is 2016 sucked. SO.
VERY. VERY. VERY. MUCH. No joke, the entire year was just blow after blow of
utter awfulness. Job suckiness, relationship suckiness, family suckiness. Truly
terrible shit happened.
I know, I know - that's life. I get that. But the
thing is, I don't want to wake up miserable every day. The way I see it, I have
two choices - stay in pajamas with my animals, coffee/wine, and my Netflix
queue or actually try to figure out what's not working in my life and cut
that shit out. I truly believe that we get more of of what we give attention
to, so the plan is to be more mindful of my blessings and see what happens. At the very least, things can't get worse.
So... GRATEFUL! FOR A WHOLE YEAR! (I'm not really
that excited, just a sarcastic mocker with good intentions.)
