Gratitude Girl

On this last Wednesday of 2023, I write my last gratitude post on this blog.  In 2024, I will be writing daily in my new gratitude journal. Today, I'm grateful for all the ups and downs of this year. I'm also grateful for all those who visited this blog regularly over the last few years. Thank you! Love, Gratitude Girl

I'm grateful for all the daily miracles...like sunrise and sunset...and my dogs' soft inhale and exhale as I watch them sleep. I'm also grateful for the less frequent miracles I get to encounter...like cutting a papaya open to find its seeds have sprouted inside it.

I'm grateful for the time I got to spend with the people I love, especially those who are no longer alive. I'm grateful for all the memories we created together, memories I will cherish forever.

Today I'm grateful for opening my eyes in the morning, for inhaling and exhaling, for the delicious breakfast I ate, for the sun rays entering the room, for comfortably working on my upcoming book, ..., and for my dogs who have dragged my robe to their bed under my desk and are now snuggling.
