My August gratitude list...

I made a special effort in the month of August to write down at least 2 things I was thankful for each day.  I love how thinking about what I'm thankful at the end of the day helps me to really keep things in perspective, and know truly blessed I am.

My August gratitude list:

• Cubscout camp
• Making my yard a more beautiful place
• teaching children
• parks with shade
• friends
• camping
• friends while camping
• songs around the campfire (hymns specifically)
• my home
• teaching children (didn't realize it until now that I wrote this one twice on 2 different days)
• clean rooms
• making plans for Fall
• change!
• library cards
• morning walks
• homeschool friends
• cute hair cuts
• resting from the world (sabbath day)
• no television
• mornings at the park
• healthy children
• birthday dinner outings
• warm crockpot roast dinner
• April's fun ideas
• kids' birthday party
• packing for a fun trip
• peaceful mornings
• birds chirping
• fun camping trips
• saying sorry
• clouds
• laughing with friends
• free things
• knowledge
• cooking with my children
• educational videos
• hard work/satisfaction
• my family
• homemade bread
• pictures of my kids

 I could definitely see a few repeats in there.  This was great, and I intend to keep going!  I am going to start a journal, and keep a running list.  It's neat to see what things I was thankful for, and I can look at each thing in this list and remember why I wrote that particular thing.

What are you thankful for today?
