“Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.” Eckhart Tolle
We participated in Maplewood Loves Wellness Fair yesterday and set up a Gratitude Stop where people of all ages had a chance to stop, contemplate one thing they are grateful for and write it down. One wee man, aged 5 or so, was giggling and writing while I was talking with other people. When he was done, he looked up at his parents with a smile and said “look!”, proudly pointing at what he had written: ” ImGoodATpOOpING”. (Translation: I am good at pooping).
After some contained laughter, his dad took a deep breath and said “I am grateful he can spell.”
We can always be grateful for something, including things we take for granted.
What are you grateful for today? Check out my entry below.

As I said yesterday, for the first 10 days I will be mainly focusing on my 7 year old, Coco. I am grateful for the belly laughs she gives me.
I am grateful for a partner who lets me sleep late.
How wonderful that when given the chance you can sleep late! It seems like my body is awake at 7am, regardless. I think I need to get dark blinds and see what happens then!
I am grateful that the horses were well-behaved on our first trail ride as a family.
Love that Melissa! Where did you go?
I am grateful that my mom came to visit today and helped me do some things around the house before our new Au pair arrives!
Having parents close by to help is such a blessing. I miss having mine around…
I am grateful for a beautiful day spent outside with my daughter who inspired everyone she met to smile.
Thanks Jeannie. Kids can inspire that smile, can’t they? I think that as adults we sometimes forget that we can also inspire smiles by smiling at people. Thank you for the reminder. So beautiful.
I am grateful that I was able to get away for the weekend with a few girlfriends and travel to Montreal! Thankful for safe travels and all the laughs we had.
Yes, yes, yes!! Nothing like a good laugh!
