Sometimes it is enough when there is a warm blanket and a book. You have so much more on your list. May your list keep growing during this month.
ReplyDeleteYour positivity in the form of gratitude is inspiring. You found a lot o be grateful for today!
ReplyDeleteAll good thing to celebrate, Michelle. I miss having so many stickers, but do buy a few for the grand-girls. Even my middle-schoolers loved them!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I believe you when you say that practicing gratitude is powerful. It has gotten me through some rough patches for sure. I love how your list gives me a peek into your world. I am wondering what kinds of pens you like...and the one about memories of your dad resonates- my dad died twenty years ago this month. I think about him a lot, but especially in November. You set such a good example for all of us- not just through your commitment to writing, but by the way you live finding the good.
ReplyDeleteI love being grateful and I love lists! I'm grateful for books to read too, but that list is getting way too long. Haha! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is #6. As a fellow pen addict, I can totally relate. Your gratitudes bring such joy! Give Bella a hug for me!!
ReplyDeleteI am grateful for you and your passion for teaching and writing! You are a gift to all who know you.
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful for special pens and notebooks, too! And favorite authors and fresh new sheets, and a daughter who is standing next to my bed getting ready to apologize for her over-reactions! Thanks for reminding me to be grateful!

ReplyDeleteI'm always a sucker for lists & yours are some of my favorite. I agree...a waiting notebook is a good reason to be grateful.
