Thankful Thursday – Post 10

Lists are a blogger’s friend and being thankful is your friend … and if it isn’t, you should change that.

Lists are a fun and easy change of pace … you don’t need to write creative sentences, think about describing things accurately or try to explain complex issues in less than 500 words.

And being thankful is an important key to a happy life … and should happen regularly. As I go through life, I try to be aware of things that I am grateful for.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Weather above 30F last Sunday and two running buddies to do a five-mile run with … the first official training run for the half-marathon I plan to do on April 9th.

2. A fun party with friends on Sunday evening.

3. Guest posting, a new venture for me. Shawn Smucker and I exchanged guest posts — yesterday he posted here on my blog and last Wednesday I posted on his site.

4. A safe flight to Nashville this morning (this is called positive thinking, because I posted this at 5AM before I headed to the airport for my 8AM flight)

5. The fun of dreaming about this five days to Nashville. Meeting the editor I hired to help make my book sellable, meeting old and new friends, and attending the Dream Year weekend.

Being thankful should be contagious like yawning … so it’s your turn now, leave a comment with something you are thankful for … it could start a chain reaction.
