Gratitude

This week, I read a book titled The How of Happiness. It discusses practical things you can do to become happier.  I was surprised to find that I use a lot of the strategies already.  One I haven't tried is listing 3-5 things I'm grateful for weekly.  I guess it's like counting my blessings (non-financially).

This week, I was really happy.  I rate it a 9 out of 10.

1> I'm thankful that my allergy symptoms (which usually cause me severe distress this time of year) hasn't been bad at all.  Three years of allergy shots are finally kicking in.

2> I'm thankful for several people in my life who understands me deeply.

3> I'm thankful that I have the chance to study Chinese, it's reimbursed by work, and I have the best pronunciation in the class!

4> I'm thankful that the meeting with our scary VP this week went well and she was open and approachable.

5> I'm thankful to have the privilege of supporting my missionary friend

6> I'm happy that God loves me.
