I know I should’ve finished this sooner but I had a brief falling-out with everything online and was surprisingly offline for almost 3 days. It did not help that my blogs sort of had the same feeling and was also offline for almost a week now. Good thing everything is back to normal and so are my creative juices {I hope}! :)

Here are my gratefuls for today:

1. the weekend ~ so that i may be able to stay up a lot later at night {which is most ideal for norturnals like me} and sleep in a bit late the next morning
2. for waking up this morning ~ for another opportunity to enrich,enjoy and unravel this beautiful life that I am gifted with
3. for books ~ need i say more? ;)

I know there are loads of other stuff to be thankful for on a daily basis, and I do hope that I was able to inspire you to always keep a grateful attitude and to always be thankful for every little thing that comes our way {yes, including that extra helpful guy at the grocers earlier, or the free chicken burger you had this morning} by sharing this Challenge with you. I will share all about the progress of my Gratitude Journal next! :)

There are really so many things to be grateful for if we will only stop for awhile and look around us. The sunshine, the birds chirping by the window that woke you up this morning, the unlimited hugs from your children, the list could go on and on. But before I bore you with my impossibly long list, here are the 3 things I am thankful for today:

1. for surprises in the mail that never fail to brighten up my day
2. for Facebook for allowing me to keep in touch with a life-long friend across the miles whom I have never heard from for ages
3. for the roof above my head that allows me to feel warm, safe and comfortable inspite of the unkind weather

Tell me all about your list of gratefuls today and do not forget to spread the grateful attitude in your social media pages, or wherever you may be today. Gratitude is contagious and let us all be carriers, shall we? :)

Keeping a thankful and grateful attitude allows us to revel in our every blessing instead of wallowing in our plight or situation. Being thankful instantly improves our mood and allows us to be open for the outpouring of more blessings in our lives. And as Yogi Bhajan puts it, the attitude of gratitude, indeed, is the highest yoga.

Here are my gratefuls for today:

1. the precious time spent with my boys!
2. the privilege to work + earn a living while staying at home to care + look after my little man
3. those rare opportunities to simply relax + do nothing especially when i am down with such a terrible headache

What are you thankful for, do share them in a comment below and let us help spread the attitude of gratitude all around! :)
