I know that Oprah was big on these grateful lists, but lately I've been feeling that I have been in a negative frame of mind, and one of the ways to get out of that is to write down a few things each day to be grateful for.  Here's my list.

1. I have a fantastic dog who matches my personality perfectly
2. I have a job that lets me work from home most days out of the week
3. fuzzy faux sheepskin slippers
4. I have legs that let me walk and work out and enjoy the weather
5. I am able to buy a new (ish) car without worry
6. My dad is doing my taxes for me, and I don't have to worry about 2 states and 2 jobs of income

My lenten practice has been sliding lately.  I have been reading (mostly) before watching TV or using the internet, but the NCAA games have made that really hard.  And yes, I know that's the point, but I've been giving myself lots of breaks on this.  Makes me wonder what my priorities list is.
