Thanks to my favorite cousin Alice who I look forward to seeing this weekend at the lake for putting me up to the challenge! Love you like a sister!!
Day 1 of my gratitude challenge:
1. I am thankful for my parents and step-parents for their love for both me and my husband and children. I am thankful that they bestowed in me a love of nature and of gardening among many other things. These two things I have taken into my adult life with me and they bring me peace and calm whenever I need it.
2. I am thankful for my hubby Rod who I have now lived with longer than I ever lived with my parents. I am thankful for your beautiful brown eyes that are able to laugh and cry and see this beautiful thing called life with me.
3. I am thankful for each of my 3 girls. You are so smart and funny and talented in your own unique ways. You have showed me how big my heart is!
I now challenge my bridesmaids: Stephanie Bing and Shannon Farrell Banattand Laurie Plumhoff Nealon (even though she never goes on Facebook) 4 days of 3 gratitudes a day. Nominate a friend or loved one each day.
Day 2 of my gratitude challenge:
1. I am thankful for my brother who has been an inspiration to me and others to follow their dreams!
2. I am thankful for my extended family of brother and sister-in-laws. I love being part of a big family and I'm so happy to have you all in my lives.
3. I am thankful for each of my nieces and nephews! I love you all to pieces!
I now challenge my husband and my kids to take the challenge. 4 days, 3 gratitudes, challenge 1 or 2 a day!
Gratitude challenge day #3:
1. My extended family of aunts and uncles and cousins! Sorry to be missing some of you at Peaks this weekend where we've spent the last 20 labor days. My cousin Alice who has been like a sister from our pen pal days till now. Can't wait to see you later today!
2. My cousin Andy who died from cancer at age 45 who taught us all to enjoy every minute of life and reminded us every day that "Life is Good!"

Gratitude challenge: day # 4
1. Thankful for summers. I adore this season and all the time I get to spend with my children and dogs and friends and family.
2. I am thankful for the friends I have made as an adult. My teaching friends and Medway peeps. So glad to have met you.
3. I am thankful for a good book when I can just disappear inside a story for a few days. I don't always read but when I do Iove it!
Day 5 Gratitude Challenge:
1. I am thankful for nets and their ability to catch the bat that my daughter discovered in hair in the middle of the night on her last night of summer vacation at the cottage.
2. I am thankful for long nights of sleep in the summer. It feels so good to sleep in! And nights when you can't fall back to sleep help you appreciate those nights all the more!
3. I am thankful for coffee after a sleepless rest of the night..and for coffee every day of the year. I literally go to bed talking about how I can't wait to have my coffee in the morning.
