Gratituesday 8.13.19 - Weekly Lists, a History

It's hard to believe that I have been writing and posting my gratitude list for SEVEN years now. My weekly lists have quite a history! In 2013, on the suggestion of Amy Banks, I added the list of celebrations and originally a To-do list. And the tasks shifted to DESIRES in 2014. That same year, Tommy Housworth suggested I do an A to Z gratitude list. I did A, B & C and then stopped. In 2017, I standardized the image I used, to make the look more consistent.

While things have shifted and expanded over the years, the exercise is really the same. Taking a moment to realize the good around me, and express what I can do better. Care to join me? How 'bout you add a few gratitudes, celebrations and desires below? In the meantime, here are mine! And you never know, I may return to the alphabet in the not too distant future!
