Participating in 50 things I am grateful for over the last few years has been an insightful new year activity that I recommend everyone to take a part of. The rules are simple; set a timer for 15 minutes and go. To be fair, I do clean up my scribbles and sometime add links. This gives me time to mull over the last year and all the blessings, lightening my heart, and looking forward to what’s next.

How’d you do?
I had a few more than 50 when the alarm went off after 15 minutes. I’m okay with that. How about you? What’s on your 2020 gratitude list? Would love to read your list so feel free to leave me a link in the comments below.
Going through my list I noticed I could consolidate some, or honestly delete the similar lines but I will let it be. 2020 was an interesting year in so many ways and a year that we will all remember in one way or another. Now its time to take those lessons we learned and put them into practice in 2021. Be gentle stepping into this new year. The energy is volatile with the planets squaring off so now’s not the time to be hasty.
Sending you love and happiness.
