A Month Of Gratitude: #30daysofgratitude

Posted on November 1, 2013 Written by Tonya

Imagine a world where we woke up with a heart full of gratitude. Expressing our gratitude out loud and feeling blessed for another day on earth; our good fortune, our health, children, jobs, spouses, friends or simply having a few quiet moments to sit and read. It’s such a simple thing and yet we take so much for granted.

Although we should express our gratitude daily, throughout the month of November, I’ll be sharing one thing each day on my Letters for Lucas Facebook page that I appreciate. At the end of each blog post, I’ll share that day’s note of thanks. 

Please join me and if you do, use the hashtag: #30daysofgratitude. Sometimes it’s hard to see the good, especially when bad things happen and you are unhappy with certain aspects of your life, but I hope this month you can focus on being grateful and all the things that make you smile.

Day 1: I’m thrilled to be pregnant, grateful for modern medicine and can’t wait to meet Lucas’s little sister!

30days

    I love this!
    At the beginning of this year I started a gratitude journal and I love going back and looking at it!
    Today I am grateful to have my first post featured on Scary Mommy 🙂

      I love that and January 1 is the perfect time to start being more grateful, although, I suppose everyday is a good day to give thanks.

      I’ll have to check out your SM post! Congrats on that.

    I’m keeping track of something that I am grateful for everyday in my journal this month. It’s really a very good task for everyone to do. 🙂
