I got this card from Jessie today. She always thinks of things I would never come up with, so she is a constant inspiration to me. It also made me think of some thank you notes I need to send, so it was a good reminder as well. You know, gratitude is a wonderful thing: it lifts the person expressing gratitude as much as the recipient. If you haven't checked out Jill's Gratitude blog, you really should. Such a wonderful idea.
Here's some of the things I'm feeling grateful for today:
- beautiful weather -- not too hot yet!
- seeing Eva swing for the first time
- clean, freshly-washed kids
- a pot of soup on the stove
- a new episode of Survivor
- Elliott didn't get voted off of American Idol
- I went grocery shopping today so we should be good to go for about a week
- our new trampoline arrived and Marc started setting it up
- got to spend some time with Jessie, Timm and Bella
- I have a garbage can dedicated to all the yard waste I'm generating!
- Jill is apparently still my friend even though I totally messed up her plans today
- I get to see an old friend from college tomorrow

What a cool card, she definitely has a way with innovation and creativity.
I enjoyed reading your list of things you're grateful for, perhaps you should start a gratitude blog too. One you start writing things down, more come to mind, thus making you more grateful.
are you seeing jen?
i am wanting to do my own gratitude blog, but am fearful of the copy cat mentality that i struggle with.
I think everyone should do a gratitude blog (if they're so inclined). Do not fear copying, I don't think we'll be grateful for all the same things, hee.
How did I not know you were getting a trampoline? That's so cool!!!
I feel silly commenting on your blog... I'm Jessie's friend. I just wanted you to know that I really enjoy your blog. I started gratitude journals for my husband and my two kids, thanks to something we talked about in book club. It really helps me appreciate my family members.
