November Challenge

My friend Rebecca was telling me about a study that showed that people who were grateful and wrote down what they were grateful for were happier than those who didn't focus on what they are grateful for. So since it is November, the month to be thankful for what you have, my November challenge is going to be to write 5 things every week that I am thankful for.

Here are my first 5:

-My health: Considering that I barely ever exercise anymore and eat pretty bad, it is pretty impressive I am still as healthy as I am. I am very grateful that I can still be physically active when I choose to be (I should really work on choosing to be active more often ;)) Being healthy is really a blessing.

-My husband:I have the best husband in the world! He works so hard at work and at home. He loves me unconditionally and he treats me so well. I am so grateful to have the most amazing person to share life with.

-My house: I am so grateful to have this beautiful house in such a wonderful neighborhood. I love coming home every day and knowing that it belongs to me. Sometimes I just sit in my backyard and wonder how I got so lucky.

-My friends (homies): I have the best friends! They are so fun, supportive, loving and I am truly blessed to have so many wonderful friends from so many different chapters in my life. Each and every one makes my life that much better.

-My home cooking: I am really grateful that I can come home from work and cook and bake. I really enjoy it and am glad that I don't totally suck at it. :)

-Bonus:I'm thankful that I could come up with 5 things that start with "H" that I am thankful for. ;)
