Saturday afternoon and sitting on the patio of a local coffee shop. CSU is playing a football game so pretty much have the place to myself. A beautiful day. It was 47 degrees this morning at 7:00 am and is now 83 degrees with clear blue skies. The cool breeze is refreshing.
Every day is a day for gratitude. Over the past few years I’ve acquired the habit of making gratitude lists in my journals. Some days it’s only one thing and some days it’s a longer list. A list is important for me as a visual person, something written in black and white that I can see. Today I’m grateful for the details in this dandelion. Do you write out a gratitude list?
Enjoy your weekend!

I often think about the things I’m grateful for but I haven’t had the discipline to form a written list. It would be a good exercise.
I wish there were coffee shops I could walk to some mornings. Currently, all those nearby requires driving which seems counter-productive to the mood I’d like to enhance. Have a good day, Monte! 🙂

It is a discipline for sure. My Fitbit says it’s 1.8 miles to a favorite coffee shop but there are two others that are closer. I actually have to pass them on my way here. The walk is also a time to look for images where that’s not as possible when driving.

I would welcome a two-mile walk and the opportunity to explore the visual world but where we’re at currently there are no sidewalks. 🙁

I don’t write anything down but gratefulness is one of the three things I contemplate on a daily basis. I find that being grateful is an exceptionally good way to relax and let go, which I am sure, you and Earl already know 🙂
