Gratitude Is An Attitude

Gratitude is an attitude.  I learned that a long time ago from a fellow named Elmo.  It's a perspective on life, seeing the gifts.  Today I was grateful for the Space Shuttle Endeavor coming home.  I was watching, hoping it would come home safely.  I was concerned for a Congresswoman whose husband was aboard. She has already been through so much.  For them, for all those aboard, for their families, and for a weary country, I was hoping it would come home safely.  When it landed Wednesday morning, I was grateful.

I am grateful that I have a computer, and I'm able to talk to people across the globe with a single blog post.  I'm grateful to have the opportunity to write and be published. 

It appears to be that time of year again for my gratitude list, where I write down everything I can think of that I'm grateful for.  I usually start with family.  Pete my dog, and the cats Buffy and Bella are always there too. 

I'm thrilled and grateful to have the incomparable Paranormal Author Rebecca Royce visiting on this Saturday's blog.  Gerri will be back the following Saturday with the wonderful Romance Author Eloisa James.  I'm also excited to be part of the Night Owl Reviews Summer Web Hunt, so visit their site and follow the directions–lots of prizes. http://www.nightowlromance.com/nor/Pages/Hunts.aspx

Ah, so much to be grateful for.  Who and what's on your list?
