Not what we give,
But what we share,
For the gift
without the giver
Is bare. ~ James Russell Lowell

I’m thankful for alot of things. I was thinking perhaps I should let people in my life know how grateful I am to have them. So, today I ran out to Target to pick up some Thank You cards. I’ve decided to send all of those close to me a thank you . To my mom, I will thank her for the advice given to me and the lessons I learned from her. My sister for her honest. She will be blunt with me, but in a nice way. If I’m wearing something that is not flattering on me, she will say so. I need more people in my life like this. I will thank my best friends for listening and not judging and for standing by my side through thick and thin-even if they do not agree with my decisions. I guess what I am saying is that I share my blog with the world (okay, the few who read it), but I’ve not actually shared my gratitude to those I am grateful for. They need a personal “thank you for being there for me”. I’m starting today. My first cards will go in the mail tonight! After all, shouldn’t I tell them how much I appreciate them and not just post it in my blog.

Letter U is a challenge. I could not come up with all 10, but here’s what I am grateful for…

Gratitude Letter U

Unity. The world would be a better place if we could all come together as one.

Unconditional Love. It is a special thing to love someone regardless of their actions or beliefs.

Uh-Ohs. Come on. We all should learn from our mistakes, right?

Utilities. Boy am I thankful to have air conditioning, heat, light, water…even if it cost me an arm and a leg to get it!

Umbrella. With all of the rain lately, the umbrella sure has come in handy!

Underwear. No going commando for me! I always wear underwear!

That’s all I got…
