Today I am so extremely grateful that my son was not hit by a car yesterday. It was close. We often don’t know things that we are protected from, but when you see it play out right in front of you, it sure brings it to your attention. Those three seconds could have turned out very differently. I can’t even imagine. I don’t want to take it for granted, and I’m so extremely Grateful he was not hit. #grateful #gratitude #gratitudejournal #todayiamgrateful #thankfulfor #miracleshappen #gratitudeattitude

Am I grateful for taxes? This was a challenging one for me to think through. But it turns out that there’s even positive ways to look at taxes. I am grateful for so many of the things that taxes are used for. Many of these things benefit us greatly as a society, as a nation, and often even for us personally. Certainly, there are some things that are taxes are used for that we don’t appreciate. So your attitude comes down to which of those things you choose to focus on. Note: when I say “generally good government”, I am comparing to governments full of corruption, where much if not the majority of money is funneled directly to the pockets of people in leadership. A #gratitudeattitude has to be intentional, and often requires reframing and rethinking about traditionally negative things, like taxes. #grateful #gratitude #gratitudejournal #todayiamgrateful #thankfulfor #taxes #taxseason

This is a fun one! Today I am grateful for conquering a new trail that I had been nervous about! We were at Red River Gorge in KY. I have a fear of edges and I had heard that this trail had some edges, but I really wanted to hike it. I went with some friends who knew the trail, and we had an absolute blast. The trail wasn’t nearly as bad as I had worried that it might be. And there were so many fascinating rock formations and terrain features that it was such a fun and really great hike! Even a small arch, cave, and waterfall! #grateful #gratitude #gratitudejournal #todayiamgrateful #thankfulfor #rrg #redrivergorge #mountains #hills #terrain #outdoors
