This week's activity is to take a photo of something I am grateful for and post it to social media with an explanation, this to be done at least twice this week. I honestly feel like I could do this a few times a day all week...there's constantly something popping up...but worry not. I will not be one of those people that posts only around the holidays (every day) on the "I'm thankful for ..." kick. I like it, but, ugh, yea, enough already.
Of this great list of things many are functional (like heat and clean water) and some are frivolous (like my favorite pink scarf). I take most all things for granted as we are all prone to do, and I don't know that I can pick any one or two out as THE ones. I could go the route of saying, "ignore the ones that we should all be grateful for and pick personal things" or I could go big-picture items as in the things no one notices is under their nose until it's gone...so I wonder, do I go with those that so many are without (practical well engineered infrastructure) or silly (Staedtler Lumocolor correctable pen) or even mushy/personal (name of friend here)?
What would you choose? What thing are you grateful for?
Just a small list I started but probably won't pick from because most of them are too mushy/personal...
- My ears so I can hear my child's voice (especially when she breaks out into song at some random time (not unlike her mother)); and also so that I can hear music because it honestly puts me in a great mood and so many times more than not, motivates me.
- My eyes so I can see my beautiful child; and so that I can easily read and drive and function without the inhibitions of blindness.
- My mom, for which I cannot imagine life. She's my solace.
- My lovely bulldog Beastie who lets me hang on her.
- My gigantic pink calculator, how else would I do my job? (Don't even suggest I do math in my head).
- My reliable car so that I can go the places I need and want to go.
- Twitter because honestly it does kill the tedium (and I guess other reasons too).
- A good book so that I can escape. (this but multiplied to a magnitude of some great number)
- Certain people who shall remain nameless because it's almost torture to get me to tell someone how much they mean to me unless I can tell them in some stupid comedic manner, let alone announcing it in some public manner which leaves me vulnerable.
