To celebrate Thanksgiving, some of my friends on facebook have been listing something they are thankful for everyday. Thought I'd try it here for a week  . Anyone? Today, as much as I love Fridays because they signal the end of the workweek, I'm thankful in this crappy economy to be one of the people fortunate enough to still have a job!

I'm thankful this week is over. I've held three trainings this week (Event Planner is one of my many duties) and one was 4 hours North of my home and where I'm at today is 3 hours South. A lot of travel in one week!

I don't know why, but I've always had a hard time with grattitude lists... they seem contrite or obvious or something... But I can see the value in them...I'm not sure what my block is. I am extremely grateful for my life... I feel like I've been given so many gifts and opportunities...it's a miracle, really.

Good Idea! :) Today, and every day, I am particularly thankful I have found my dream job (going on 2 years now, found it in Feb of 2008 after being laid off of a job I didn't really like but had for 9 years...whew!). How many people can actually say they are working for a living doing their hobby? I feel very fortunate in this time to have the perfect job.

I am very thankfull that my husband and I were able to carve a bit of time together this morning. I am also thankfull that my hormone riddled 8th grade son is bringing home better grades. I also grateful that I have two friends tomorrow who want to spend time with me and do the lunch/shopping thing. I am very grateful that my daughter has such nice friends who want to include her in sleepovers and playdates. I can go on and on. I think for me these moments and exercises set aside for gratitude are hellpful because we get so caught up in our own world and our own desires and we forget what to be grateful for. Many women have lost a husband or have a relationship that is too problematic to spend quality time together. I often wish our relatioship were different, more passion or whatever but I need to remember to start with gratitude. My son drives me crazy with not wanting to take school seriously but I need to remember there are many parents that would love to trade problems with me and I do have a healthy and capable boy. I try and remember to be grateful at least once a day.

I actually am lucky enough to say that too... I get to be a massage therapist, which is wonderful!

Good point, and I agree.

I'm grateful for the fingers I have that enable me to write this note. I'm grateful for being able to see out my window to watch a bird eat. I'm thankful to have my best friend near.

Coolness. I don't know about giving them, but I sure like getting them! :)
My official title is Webmaster, which was my hobby for 10 years while I was a Programmer. I actually do all things IT at our company as well as Web Properties Administration (webmaster) for our clients and our own sites. I ran my own web servers, email servers, etc. for that time as a hobby (mostly hosting gaming sites and online gaming competition ladders that I developed), which down the road turned into a side business and later allowed me to switch careers from boring Programmer to Webmaster.
