At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.  Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. ~Albert Schweitzer

Yesterday was a rainy day. The sky was dark and I stayed iat home all day. Funny-I did not mind it at all. Normally, I would be in a gloomy mood. Not yesterday. I surprised myself. I honestly think I owe it to my ‘list’.

Yesterday I found myself smiling, thinking of past times. I laughed a lot. It felt really good. I never imagined my ‘list’ could make such a difference. I don’t think I had one negative thought all day. Life is good.

When I decided to search for gratitude in my life, I figured I would blog it, really never thinking anyone would read it.  But…I have received a few comments, and for that, I’m grateful.  If you don’t write it, at least-think it!

Today is day 3 of my challenge. Let’s ‘C’ what I’m grateful for today (obviously a failed attempt to be witty…)

1. Cameron. My son. He is the best thing to ever happen to me. I have no idea where I would be at this moment without him. Every decision I make in life revolves around him. How will this decision affect Cam? What would Cameron do if I…? Is this the right thing for Cameron?

2. Chocolate. My other best friend.

3. Cartoons. So what if I’m 35? I love watching cartoons. I just wished they still came on Saturday mornings like when I was a kid. Hmm…I wonder why they don’t???

4. Chap-Stick. Yep, another addiction. I can’t live without it. I have a tube on my dresser, 2 or three in my pocketbook, in my car, my make-up case, my desk…I never want to be in a situation without it.

5. Coach handbags. Need I say more?

6. Courage. I have high moral courage. I inherited this from my mom. I think it is one of my best traits (and hers).

7. Country Music. No matter how bad I feel, I can always listen to country music. There is usually a song playing more depressing that my life.

8. Control-top panties. Don’t lie. You own a pair.  I hate when I wear them, but I like the purpose they serve.

9. Chinese Food. Just not from a buffet. My niece likes it too. Maybe I can take her this weekend!

10. Corolla. My little car. Sure, I would love to drive a fancy sports car…But I commute 100 miles or more every day! Hmm…I wonder if they make a convertible…(hey-another ‘C’ word…I appreciate convertibles too!)

I’m already working on my ‘D’ list…See, there is so much to be grateful for!
