Small Success Thursday: A Decade of Gratitude
Small Success Thursday
Happy 2013! And welcome back to Small Success Thursday, the day we stop to count our blessings. Today, I’m proposing a means of really meditating on these little victories we hold over housework or homework or keeping our lives moving forward, gratitude via prayer. On each bead of the rosary, say a thing, a triumph, a victory that you either are aspiring towards or achieved in this past week. It can be little things like I read a story at bedtime even though I was tired, or big things like I signed my daughter up for the SAT. The basement is not a wreck. I paid the taxes and I am not a wreck. We had a lovely date night out at a Greek Restaurant and the Art Museum, and a fun family outing to two basketball games and two birthdays. I said “No” to something. I said “Yes” to something else. You will breeze through a decade and discover as you speak, countless things that shower out that deserve a “Thank you” to God.
And welcome back! I’m looking forward to reading about the things that you did to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

I caught up on all clothes laundry (not linens/towels), reorganized my bedroom, got everyone where they needed to be all week despite not sleeping for almost a week due to the steroids I’m on.
Wow! Praying you get some much needed rest soon.
