My Little Black Book

Well, the book isn't really black, it's more of a champaign color but I thought the title might grab your attention!

Years ago, I started keeping a gratitude list. I try to write down something every day that I'm grateful for, or sometimes it's every week. With all that's going on in the world and our country now, it's been really helpful to write down something positive to start my day. I thought I'd share a few of them with you:

• Having spent every day with my dad, from his first diagnosis until his death
• The sunrise
• My grandson's love of animals, bugs, creepy-crawlies
• Cheesy jokes
• Thinking I can cook
• Making memories
• Coffee!!

May you start every day optimistic and upbeat.
