The Gratitude Challenge – Day 9

I’d like to invite you to take the Gratitude Challenge with me. Every day during the month of January join me in setting an intentional attitude of gratitude by writing about one thing you are grateful for. Hopefully our new attitude will last beyond January and carry us throughout the year. Email your gratitude to me at AuntB@MamasHealth.com or write below in the comments.

Day 9

Is there anything you use to do as a kid that you still do now?

I still pick up a bottle, or hairbrush and sing into it as if I’m front and center, on stage with a million clamoring fans.

Whenever I see an empty swing on the playground, I still plop myself in the seat and pump my legs like crazy to see how high I can go.

I still make up dance routines to my favorite songs and do them in front of the mirror or in the middle of the living room.

I still roller skate, ride my bike, and ice skate.

I still play with my Frisbee.

Today I am grateful for all of the low-tech things that are powered by my imagination or the energy of my body. All of these are simple and easy things that put a smile on my face.
