Finding Gratitude:Week 1 - Be Grateful for What You Have
Today begins my 21 day trek to gratefulness and appreciation for the life with which I am blessed. I enjoyed reading posts for this challenge from Kimberly at Petroville and I’ve decided to take the Gratitude Challenge myself. Yes, that’s right, come November 1st you will see one self-aware and grateful blogger!
DAY 1: Sign the contract and make a commitment to take note and give thanks for the next 21 days. Express why you accepted this challenge and what you hope to achieve from it.
I’ve signed the contract and I make this commitment. I accept this challenge right now as I feel like I’m in a pivotal point in my life. I have had very conflicted feelings about the path that my life should take at this point. I think the best way to figure that out is to get fully grounded in where my life is currently. My hope is that I will find contentment in my current life, or clarity in what I should do to be content in life.
Onward and upward, readers. Onward and upward!

In some ways, I'm a walking cliche--a suburban mommy blogger of two kids just trying to keep my crazy yet wonderful life in balance. But, I'm also a career writer who has just returned to fulltime work in the software industry, I'm a wife going through a divorce after almost 20 years of marriage, and I'm discovering that life is full of surprises. But, mostly I am learning to look at the world through funny glasses with my tongue sticking out. Pfffftttt!
