Grateful

I've decided to  make 2012 a year of gratitude.  I need to be more aware of the good things in my life and show appreciation for them... Not just at Thanksgiving time but all year long.  Did anyone see the gratitude challenge in December's Ensign magazine?  The challenge was to write a list of 100 things you are grateful for.  To help you out, a list was created:

1.  write 10 physical abilities you are grateful for
2.  write 10 material possessions you are grateful for
3.  write 10 living people you are grateful for
4.  write 10 deceased people you are grateful for
5.  write 10 things about nature you are grateful for
6.  write 10 things about today you are grateful for
7.  write 10 places on Earth you are grateful for
8.  write 10 modern inventions you are grateful for
9.  write 10 foods you are grateful for
10.write 10 things about the gospel you are grateful for
Making a list of 100 blessings doesn't seem nearly as daunting when it is broken down by 10's.

In an effort to be more grateful, I spent an afternoon making cards that can be used to send thank  you notes, thinking of you, birthday, and any occasions cards when the need arises.

Here's a sampling:

Gratitude turns what you have 
into enough.

Thank you.
Gracias.
Danke.
