This is a goal I recently added to replace one I thought was too similar to another on the list, and it couldn't have come at a better time. Lately, I've been Miss Whines-A-Lot about everything. Class? Boring. Work? Terrible. Gas? Expensive. People? Obnoxious. Chasing toddlers around at church? Tiring. Never mind how fortunate I am to be in a graduate program, to have a full-time job, to own a car, to be social, and to play with adorable, loving children every Sunday. I have serious gratitude issues, so I'm putting myself through gratitude rehab...starting today. I'm also taking a Facebook hiatus, which will help shift the focus from the "things I want" to the "things I have."
I like to keep this blog strictly as a measure of list progress, so I won't be posting daily entries here. Those will be at my other blog. If you ever have a day when you're feeling upset, inferior, frustrated, or annoyed with everything going on in your life, come post a comment on my entry for that day. Find at least three wonderful things that happened that day and brag about them. I've found that the more you talk about them, the more you notice them, which is why I'm excited to start "gratitude hunting." Bring it on, life!
