Day 92 – #100HappyDay Challenge
Last year I participated along with many others in the gratitude challenge from Tales From the MotherLand. I was brand new to WordPress.com and messed the linking up terribly. Dawn came to my rescue. She’s so wonderful. If you haven’t visited her blog – go! You will love her posts and wittiness.
This gratitude list is late this year. I hope I’m not too late. And I haven’t taken time to pretty it up. Maybe I should. Naaaa
Honestly, as I sat down, started the ten minute timer I was uncertain I would come up with anything near 50. But God, Spirit had other plans and I landed on 51…such a sense of humor!
It’s hard to believe I’ve been at this for a year. Only now, I’ve moved onto WordPress.org…let’s hope this is the last platform change for a few years. I’d like to become proficient enough to be able to link items or respond to comments without messing those up.
Anyway, this year she extended the time to 15minutes. I just saw that but I jotted my gratitudes down in 10 minutes so I know it can be done. I did this quickly, and just let the thoughts fly. They are raw. They are honest. And here they are in all their unfiltered truth:
- Family
- Friends
- Pancakes and bacon
- Home
- A job to pay for the home
- Travel
- New places to explore
- Hipsters
- Brunch
- Creative outlets
- Boots
- Fresh flowers
- Warm Texas weather
- Sunshine
- My bed!
- Lazy weekends
- Cruising in the middle of the ocean
- Paris
- iPhone
- iPad
- Medicine
- Doctors
- My car
- Heart opening joy
- Silk scarves
- Fresh basil
- Gardens
- Letters
- Pictures
- Camera
- Hugs
- Kisses from Miss R
- Out of blue text messages
- Bubble bath
- Epson salts and crystal
- Sparkly things
- Books all kind!
- Comfy throws
- Pajama days
- Coffee
- Tea as a second
- Lip gloss
- Perfume
- Netflix
- Collaboration
- Road trips
- Play list
- Podcasts
- Adventures
- Long talks with girlfriend
- A date
Here’s to gratitude!
Sending you love and happiness!

Check out my latest post, for this years’ Attitude of Gratitude. I’d love to have you join us again!
I created my post and updated the link. still have tons to learn about all this! 😂 thanks for helping me along. So grateful to you! Happy New Year!
Every year I have to relearn that linky thing! It’s not that easy or intuitive. Glad you were have to figure it out, and equally grateful for you!
Just looked at the Inlinkz and don’t see your post. If you send me your email (you can PM me on the Tales From the Motherland FB page), I can help you link up.
I loved reading your list April. It’s such a lovely little window into the life of someone you’ve never met and I love the pancakes and bacon and fresh flowers!
Thank you so much. What an exercise! The list is a raw peek into my life – unfiltered, unpolished. Kind of like me on any given day. LoL. Really appreciate your words and can’t express how much it means to me that you read the post. 🙏💕 sending you happiness!
What a wonderful list, April. To the point without the blah blah… 😉
☺️ thanks! 🤪
April, welcome back! You are NOT too late, though I extended it last night, so you would have been. Something told me there were some more grateful people out there, so I extended the deadline until the end of the month… and voilá, here you are! Such a wonderful list, filled with things I forgot, but also enjoy in my life–– adventures, podcasts, talks with girlfriends, comfy throw, etc and ones we share. This never gets old; I’m already planning for next year, so be sure to check back at TFTM in the first week of January! Happy New Year, I’m grateful for your wonderful participation!
PS) you might have missed it, but this year’s “rules” allowed for 15 minutes, and I forgot to say that I’ve added your name and a link to your post, to the bottom of my post, with the others from this year. 🙂
Thank you! You’re so awesome. I love following your posts – very encouraging! I hope that 2018 is a kinder, gentler year for you! Sending you happiness. ❤️
Thanks April…. we shall see, but I feel hopeful. 😉
