The Gratitude Challenge – Day 18
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 18
Everyone has at least one. A complainer. Nothing is EVER right for this person. You know them; I’ve seen your eyes roll when you recognize their number on the phone. I’ve heard the respectful “uh-huhs” while you stood in line and they ran down their litany of complaints as you placed your groceries on the conveyor belt.
When I listen to the my “complainers,” they remind me of everything that I have to be grateful for, especially those “complainers” who have so much, but don’t realize it. My father would say, “How can they complain with a silver spoon in their mouth?”
Exactly.
I’m grateful for those who complain, because they remind me of how much I have to be grateful for.

I am grateful for unexpected challenges…although sometimes difficult to overcome…I always do SOMEHOW and even gain strength and confidence along the way!!
I’m a day behind – but here comes my late entry!
Yesterday I was LOVING some new music I purchased! I got a lot of joy dancing in place while waiting for the train, walking home, making dinner. Thank you, musicians, for blessing all of us with your soulful talent! You add SO MUCH to our lives!
Thanks for chiming in Mari and Nikki! Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh! When the challenges come it’s sometimes hard to stay grateful in the storm, but when you do, you’re right, you gain so much. And what would we do without music? Yes Nikki, a special blessing for all those with musical talent who share it with the rest of us. I only share mine in the shower!
In gratitude,
Aunt B
you are really interesting
