"This is an exercise for one of my Psy classes, please indulge me as I keep a record of a Daily graditude log on facebook: Today I am grateful for the sunshine. Today I am grateful for the beautiful card from my family in Grants Pass. Today I am grateful for the potted tulips Gary gave me, thank you husband." (Posted by Anita Larsen)

I find it eerily serendipitous when so many people are thinking alike on the same day. On this day, this was just a random spattering of thoughts from my Facebook friends, but everyone was saying the same thing - the best of the best was happening all over the country.
Everyone's best thing was a bit different, but everyone was enjoying SOMETHING. Being grateful, garage sales, soccer, sunshine, time, friends, family, who-knows-what! It just goes to show that people everywhere really do enjoy life. When you are alone in your own world, it is often hard to imagine that the things that would make you happy, make others happy too. That life is just that simple sometimes. That the little pleasures in life are things we all cherish, and regard highly, and sometimes keep us going for weeks after they've transpired.
It fills my heart to know that there are people everywhere making life happen. Going to garage sales, bringing each other flowers, watching a soccer game, having a movie night. Since moving to Las Vegas, I rarely do these kinds of things. It's not because I don't want to, it's because I have no one to do them with most of the time. I'm not so insecure as to never venture out alone, but having fun is better when shared...almost always. I look forward to the day when I meet more people here who actually want to do something besides drink and gamble. :)

Julie, thanks for the acknowlegement in your blog. It is great that you took the time to realize that several people were having good days. I sometimes forget to look at all the positives and too often focus on the darker side, thanks for reminding me that so many others are practicing positive thinking and maybe it will become the ordinary rather than the extrodinary when we do. Have a great day and keep up the positive energy out there.
