Gratitude Day 86 - Joy List


Dear Friends,
This weekend I lost count of how many times I switched the bracelet from one wrist to another! All I know is that both my wrists are red!
Let’s call it the February blues, blahs and move on! 
Either I really do whine a lot, or every little “self-expression” counts as “complaint,” “gossip” or “sarcasm!”
Nonetheless, I did feel a great deal of gratitude!

I have a list of things that make me feel good. Nothing too ambitious like world peace or equality across nations! Some simple, superficial and selfish pleasures over which I can exercise control! When I’m in a rot, I take out my “Joy List.” Checking off even one or two activities generates positive energy and before I know it, I’m on my way to cheerfulness! However, this weekend, it was easier said than done! We all know what makes us happy. It’s finding the motivation to take the first step that presents the challenge. That’s why everyone needs a “List Buddy.”
I am very grateful to my “List Buddy” of 22 years! I can always count on her to descend to the bottom of the well and pull me up (even if she has to drag me by the hair!) She better be around for another 22 years!
Have an ascending day everyone!
