Here Is My Gratitude List For Today!

I was reading someone else's gratitude blog post and it made me realize that it has been a while since I last posted a gratitude list.

Here is my gratitude list for today:

1. I am grateful for my home! Even though I am still having some financial problems relating to being able to keep my home I still have it as of right now! It is a lot to be grateful for! So many people are having problems being able to keep their homes that I feel very grateful for the fact that I still have my home.
   

2. I am so grateful for my cat! My cat is my companion!
   

3. I am so grateful for the food that I have! Would you believe it I actually have meat for a change! I'm going to cook some pasta with beef sauce later on tommorrow - so that means that I will be chopping onions and garlic as well!
   

4. I'm grateful that I actually have a positive balance in my bank account! (That is no mean feat to achieve!)
   

5. I am so grateful for where I live. It is so pleasant where I live that I just love it! It's not the city and it's not the boondocks - it's somewhere in between!
   

And that is my gratitude list for today!

My Gratitude List For Today

Again I have been feeling down lately - mostly because what I wanted hasn't manifested yet.

I have been reading a lot more lately on the law of attraction and it all seems to come down to some basic things. Things like one's feelings and vibrations - positive feelings and positive vibrations. When negative thoughts come into my mind I'm supposed to replace them with positive thoughts and see my visions for the kind of life that I would like to live.

Gratitude also plays an important part. When you feel and show gratitude it "opens you up" so that more can come into your life.

So here is my gratitude list for today!

• I am grateful for the food that I have! It may not be much but at least it keeps my belly full and I have food that will last me for more than a day!
  
  
• I'm grateful that I have a good supply of catfood for my cat! I was able to buy a big bag of catfood for her and it will last her for at least the end of the month!
  
  
• I'm grateful to have a roof over my head! There's a guy who I think is homeless who is around the area where I live. I don't know if he has a place to stay but one day he came to the public library and I think somebody bought him some food from the vending machine. So it just goes to show you that no matter how bad your life is there is always someone more worse off than you!
  
  
• I'm grateful for the little "gratitude" candle picture that I found online! It reminds me that I have a small candle at home and I'm going to light it tonight and remember all the things that I am grateful for.
  
  
• Actually I'm grateful for this day! It's winter and there's snow everywhere but the air still feels great and it felt great breathing this air into my lungs!

I also have a gratitude journal where I write my gratitude lists but I also like the idea of having one online - just so people can see an example of what a gratitude list can look like.

Everyone have a GREAT Day!

Been Feeling Down For A Few Days Now.....

I have been feeling down for the past few days - mostly, I know, because of my feelings! There is something that I want very, very much but I don't have it yet. I realize that my thoughts and feelings are thinking about what I don't have instead of knowing what I should be focusing on - which is what it is that I want to have.

It's very hard trying to keep my focus on what it is that I do want because I want it so badly and I don't have it yet.

Naturally I would like to become more finacially stable and live the life of my dreams but I seem to be blocking what I want because of the feelings that I am having.

For those of you who are in a similar situation where there is something that you really, really want and it hasn't manifested itself yet I hope this blog post will be helpful to you (as well as to me).

From the things that I have read concerning the law of attraction - what you focus on you will get. If you haven't gotten it then that means that you are blocking it by thinking negative thoughts and feeling negative feelings. I actually read a blog post from a woman who managed to make one of her (bigger) bills disappear simply by stating to the universe that she wished that the bill would just disappear - and it worked. The bill people called her up and said that she didn't have to pay the bill anymore! That just goes to show me that the law of attraction really does work!

Maybe I'm just going through some sort of test to see how badly I want it?

And while I'm feeling bad about what I don't have, now would be a good time to post another gratitude list!

I'm grateful that:

• that I have a nice warm home to go to
  
  
• that I have food to eat both in my refridgerator and the kitchen shelves
  
  
• that I have a positive balance in my bank account! Because there have been times that I have over-drawn my account and had to pay over $100 in bank fees!
  
  
• I belong to Google's Adsense program because it has earned me some nice spending money. I have also earned money online by writing guest blog posts - so I have earned money online!

I'm still working at being a master of the law of attraction just like the others that I have read about who have been able to manifest the life of their dreams!

I Have Been Feeling Kind Of Crappy Today!

I mean I was feeling really terrible today! Things are so not going my way and the first thing that I thought of was that it was time for me to make another gratitude list!

I do want to let you know that I do have a gratitude journal that I write down the things that I am grateful for too. But I also use this blog as a gratitude journal as well!

So here is my gratitude list for today!

• I am grateful to be able to be online today even though I'm using the computer at my local library. My phone service has been cut off so I'm not able to go online at home but I am still able to use my computer at home for doing things that don't require me to be online.
  
  
• I am always grateful for my home! There are so many people out there that are homeless that I should count my blessings!
  
  
• I am grateful for the food that I have at home. Just heard a story about how some children's only means of food are the free breakfast and lunch programs that they have at school. When they go home there is no food and during the weekends they have no food! So here is another area where I have to count my blessings!
  
  
• Another thing that I am grateful for is the fact that even though there are some problems that I am having there are some options that are available to me. In other words "it ain't over yet!". I still have the postal mail and some phone availabilities!
  
  
• I'm very grateful for the fact that the law of attraction has worked for me because it gives me proof that the law of attraction really does work! There have been times when money has manifested into my life and it has surprised me as to where it came from! I could really use some more money in my life right now and I think that I am trying too hard as far as the law of attraction is concerned. I think I'm having the very opposite effect which means that by trying so hard I may really be repelling money.
  
  I know that there are other sources of money. I know that there is such a thing as unclaimed money which is another form of free money but I checked for my name on the unclaimed money list for my area and my name wasn't on it.
  
  Everything today just seems to take so muc effort and I know that that is because of my thinking thoughts about money. My Google Adsense payment is about 2 weeks away and I am grateful that I will be getting some money from that! In fact I read an interesting online article about the law of attraction and attracting more adsense money into one's life! As far as me having more money is concerned two weeks is better than having to wait 3 weeks - so I'm grateful for that money coming into my life!
  
  I also have to remember that money can come from almost anywhere. I have seen examples of that show up in my life so I know that it is true! So I never know where money may show up in my life!

The name of my blog is called "I Want To Feel Good" and I find that taking the time out to make a gratitude list helps me to feel much, much better - especially about all the things that I am grateful to have in my life!

Here Is My Law Of Attraction Story For Today!

Oh my! What a day! I was so bummed out today because I didn't have any money! I got my Google Adsense payment a few days ago but almost all of it went towards banking fees because I had overdrawn my account! So I sighed a little (actually I was distraught!) but I tried not to let it get me down! I just resigned myself to the fact that I would have to wait until next month when I got my next Adsense payment.

I remembered the law of attraction and the advice that it gave that I should remember all the things that I am grateful and to focus on that. But still in the back of my mind I was still hoping that some sort of miracle would occur so that I would be able to have some money.

I did all of the things that the law of attraction advises which is to feel the feelings of having what I wanted now and to be grateful for them. So I imagined and visualized what it was that I wanted and tried not to focus on how bad things were and what I didn't want.

So I went through my day as normal. In an attempt to understand why my banking fees were so high I decided to call my bank to see if I could get a breakdown of the charges that were on my account and guess what? The woman on the phone rescinded part of my banking fees! I couldn't believe it! I now had some money in the bank which I promptly used to go shopping for some of the things that I needed!

This can only be the law of attraction at work! I am so, so very grateful! Now I want to work at being a master of the law of attraction!

It's Time For Another Gratitude List!

I have been feeling very angry, tensed, stressed and frustrated lately! It is entirely due to some financial problems that I am having! But still I realize that I have a lot to be grateful for! I have to get rid of those negative thoughts in my head! I have to keep my mind on my mission statement and the lesson that I learned from this is that money is important and I must keep steps in place to have an emergency account set aside in case of a financial problem!

I can feel myself get boiling mad thinking about my financial problems and I know that the more I think about it and worry about it the more I feed that image and the more I feed the feelings of anger and having lack!

So it is time for another gratitude list. No matter what I am going through I know that there are people who are more worse off than me!

Here is my gratitude list for today:

• I am glad to have a roof over my head. Indeed I have a home and as of this moment it still belongs to me! That is a LOT more than some other people have I know! I just read a post from a woman who said she was currently living with her child in a woman's shelter and that made me realize how grateful I am to be living in a home of my own!
  
  
• I am grateful that my electricity and gas are on! As I am typing this (in fact I wouldn't even be able to be online if my electricity was out!) the air conditioning is on! I know of someone who's air conditioning unit has broken and the are without it during these summer months! So I am very grateful for being able to have my air conditioning on.
  
  
• I'm very grateful that I am able to earn an income from the Adsense program! It isn't a whole lot of money BUT it has helped me to be able to buy food and pay some of my bills!
  
  
• I am grateful for the food that I do have! I can remember a time quite recently when I didn't have any food! Not even bread or crackers or anything to drink besides water! But now I have eggs and bacon and some of those Ramen noodles! I even have some chicken in the freezer, ice in the freezer - yes there was a time when my refrigerator wasn't even working and I was able to get a new refrigerator with a government grant! Every time I open my freezer I smile because of how grateful I am to be able to have ice and a working freezer again!
  
  
• I am grateful for the advice that I have received about the law of attraction. I keep searching for new articles about it as well as looking for more articles about how to manifest more money in one's life. Although the advice seems to be the same it seems that I continue to have problems doing what the advice says so that is probably why I keep being drawn to them! I actually took a law of attraction quiz and it said that while I am not totally hopeless I do have to work more on keeping positive thoughts in my head - which is true and which is another reason why I am making this gratitude list today!

If you are at a point where you are feeling sad, angry, depressed or blue, please take the time to make a list of at least 5 things that you are grateful for.

One Of The Things That I Am Grateful For Is......

that I was able to make it to the Digital TV switch! I can't tell you how many times I agonized over whether or not I would be able to make the switch! And this was way back in February of this year during the first digital tv switch!

I read somewhere that President Obama wanted to extend the date but I didn't see it mentioned too much and thought that it was just my imagination! But I finally saw where the date really had been extended and I was so grateful for that!

Now that June has come and the June 12th date is now passed, I'm glad to say that I can still view the programming on my TV - mainly because I have one of the cable / Dish TV / Direct TV packages!

I am very grateful for this because I am hearing on the news that some people are having problems - even though they thought that they got the right equipment. And there are still yet some people who haven't been able to make the switch at all - the reason being that they just can't afford it!

Even with the discount coupons that the government has provided, there are still people who are not able to afford buying one of those TV converter boxes -

So no matter how bad your situation is, the is always someone who is more worse off than you! So please do be grateful for what you DO have!

My Gratitude List For Today!

I am grateful for:

• being able to be typing at my computer at 2 in the morning on a weekend!
  
  
• the dinner that I had tonight which consisted of popcorn-LOL! while I watched a movie
  
  
• I am just grateful for the day that I had today! It was a gorgeous day outside today and I decided to do some yard work! Children were out playing and someone was having a party down the street and I had a nice chance to chat with one of my neighbors!
  
  
• being able to have a solution for this whole digital tv thing! I now have cable TV so when the change comes on June 12th, I'll be ready!
  
  
• I'm grateful for being able to work at home! I may not be making a lot of money yet but it is my desire and my goal to manifest my mission statement which concerns my income and financial security. And like Dr. Wayne Dyer says: "It's on its way!"

It's Time For Another Gratitude List!

I was feeling a bit down today, actually quite feeling depressed and anxious! Of course this is because I am worrying about my money and my financial situation(s)!

I'm currently reading a book called "Simple Abundance" (and I will write more specifically about this book later) and it is basically about living a simple and abundant life, getting in touch with one's authentic self and the book also provides various words of wisdom.

This book has provided some helpful insight to me and I thoroughly look forward to reading the entire book! It has a lot to say about worrying. Worrying robs us of time better well spent appreciating all that we do have. Instead of focusing on what we are lacking we should focus on the abundance in our life and I was thinking about that as I was eating dinner and reading the book at the same time. I was enjoying a very comforting meal and sipping on hot chocolate on a day when the weather is cold and rainy outside. The book reminds us to enjoy the simple pleasures of our lives and for me one of the things that I truly enjoy is having a nice, hot cup of hot chocolate on a cold day! I was reminded to be grateful to be able to have a supply of hot chocolate that I could enjoy today!

When coming online an article appeared in my email box and it was an article about gratitude and it seemed as if that "spoke" to me as I was searching for an answer to my feelings of depression and anxiety. The article reminds us to be grateful for what we do have and that "spoke" to me that it was time to make another gratitude list. So here is my gratitude list for today:

• I am grateful that I have hot chocolate to drink on this chilly day (plus I have a supply of tea that I can have as an alternative). I am very grateful for this because there have been times when I have been out of both!
  
  
• I am grateful to be in a warm house with heat! I have to remember that there are those who are much worse off than me! (I was reminded of this when I was listening to one of my local radio talk shows when the host said this very thing - in that he felt that he was doing good because there were so many people who were more worse off than him) I thoroughly believe that this was a sign answering my query as to what to do - and the answer was to be grateful for what it is I DO have!
  
  
• I am grateful to be able to be online. My Internet access has just been paid for the month so I have another blissful month of Internet access!
  
  
• I think that one of the things that I am most grateful for is myself! I don't know how to explain it exactly but in general I'm in a pretty good mood! I haven't strayed to the point of morally corrupting myself and I try to remain positive and optimistic. I'm also "keeping the faith!
  
  I have my mission statement that I remind myself of when I'm at a crossroads and don't know which way to turn!

So I do have a lot to be grateful for!

As a sidenote I should mention that the current book I'm reading suggests that you start writing down 5 things that you are grateful for every night before you go to bed and that is something that I have begun to do. So besides my online gratitude list, I have also started writing down at least 5 things I am grateful for every night before I go to bed. It is suggested that one do this for at least 21 days and I am on Day 4.



I should also note that instead of having a separate journal for this I have added this to my own personal Book Of Shadows in the diary / journal part of my own Book Of Shadows.

So if you're feeling down and / or depressed, write down 5 things that you are grateful for. That should lift your spirits immensely!

My Gratitude List For Today!

As I previously posted I was feeling a little bit down and depressed because of some financial problems and I thought that this would be a perfect time to have another gratitude list. Here is my gratitude list for today:

• As I am typing this blog entry it reminds me of one of the talents I have which is being able to edit the html of my blog post so that I can make it look a little bit more interesting than just a standard-looking blog.
  
  We all have talents even though we may think that we don't and if you haven't found your talent yet - don't press it too hard- give it time, relax, get rid of your stress and your talent will come to you!
  
  
• As always I am grateful for my house! My mother left me this house when she passed away. We both lived in it together and there are just so many good memories here that there is always a good feeling inside and out!
  
  Although being able to keep the house is proving difficult I haven't given up hope yet and as TD Jakes has said "it ain't over yet!"
  
  
• I'm grateful for my computer and my Internet access! One of the things that I LOVE to do is work on my computer! This is definitely one of my passions! I have been able to earn money from working with my computer - both online and off! I have earned money using Google's Adsense program. I have also earned money as a web page designer. I'm looking into getting into the more profitable aspects of writing.
  
  
• I'm grateful for the food that I have! Yes there have been times when my cupboards have been bare but right now I have some food - namely meat! - that is going to last me and that is a very good feeling and I am grateful for it!
  
  
• I think one of the things that I am very grateful for is that I haven't lost my sanity yet! I know that so many people are whining and complaining about their problems but they are not doing anything about them and I choose to continue on working towards my financial goals and my mission statement. I am reaching to live the life of my dreams.

I'm Going Through Some Heavy Anxiety Issues Today!

My day didn't get off to a very good start!

I worried and obsessed about some pressing financial problems and I further made it worse by looking more into it - thus getting more bad news. But now - a few hours later - as I look back on it the news isn't 100% bad - in fact there was some good news in there that will help me more!

First of all I know that worrying only feeds the problem more and makes it more of a monster - but I just couldn't help myself and the more I tried not to think about it the more I thought about it! Various negative scenarios entered my imagination and I just felt so bad!

I have my resources of advice to fall back on and they include things like

• focusing on what it is that I DO want instead of focusing on what I don't want
  
  
• finding out something good about the situation no matter how small that good may be!

Also too when I am having days like this I remember what "The Secret" says and that is to list the things that you are grateful for! Here is my list for today:

• I am grateful for my home! I love my home and I love where I live and I realize that I am fortunate to have a roof over my head - especially now during the winter months here in the Philadelphia area. The current temperature is 23 degrees but it feels like 15 degrees!
  
  
• I'm also grateful that I have heat! Old-styled radiators are bringing me heat and when I go by them I touch them and remind myself how grateful I am to be able to have heat! There is such a great feeling when coming home out of the cold into a nice warm house! (on another note: I was able to get a financial grant to help pay some of my past due heating bill expenses - and it is so very much needed and I am so grateful that I have gotten it! I received the notification a few days ago and the grant is sending the money directly to my heating bill company!)
  
  
• I'm grateful for the skills that I do have and I was recently reminded of this while online when I was reading an article about how we all have gifts and talents. What make this more interesting is that I was watching a snippet of a religious program and they were saying the exact same thing in that we all have talents!
  
  
• I'm grateful to be able to be online! I love working with my computer both online and off but I have come to realize that not everyone has a computer - much less online access - of their own!
  
  
• I'm grateful for the food that I do have in my refridgerator and whild I am craving some hot chocolate right now I know that I will have some soon because I vow to buy some with some of the money from my Adsense this month!

I have commented before about how the law of attraction has worked for me in the past. Quite frankly I think that it works all the time but it's me that is just trying too hard!

Besides having a copy of "The Secret" on disk, I was also able to check out the book "The Secret" from my library! It included some more information and advice that wasn't on the CD and it was very welcomed advice!

I think today was a day where my emotions - I should say my negative emotions - really got a hold of me. But jotting down my gratitude list has really helped me a lot!



1/31/09 Update!

I just thought that I should mention that the "financial" problem that I posted about above, that I obsessed and worried about came to a pleasant end! I did manage to find a pleasurable solution to the problem!

My Very Enjoyable Christmas!

I didn't have much but I enjoyed what I did have!

I thought of all the things that I was grateful for and I kept those thoughts in mind as I decided to enjoy the holiday season!

I decorated my Christmas tree (thankful to have a house to have the Christmas tree in) and enjoyed a nice cup of hot chocolate!

I didn't have any presents to put under the tree this year but I did buy some candy and put it under the Christmas tree.

1/5/08 Update:

Even though I didn't have any presents to put under the Christmas tree last year, I DID receive a lovely gift basket from one of my neighbors. Now this is ironic in itself because having this type of gift basket was on my Christmas "wish list" and when I got this gift basket I knew that the law of attraction was working in my favor!

What I Am Grateful For!

I'm feeling kind of down because I don't have what I want and I know that the cure for that - the law of attraction says - is to feel "up" because you do have what you want! So here is my most recent list of things that I am grateful for:

• Unfortunately my cat of 8 years died a few weeks ago after being sick for a short time. Although this makes me feel sad I know that we had a wonderful life together and I remember the many good times that we had!
  
  I also plan on getting another cat very soon - like before the year is over and hopefully before Thanksgiving - so we can have turkey together - LOL!
  
  
• I'm grateful to be living in my home! I just saw on the news where people were let back into an area where their homes were damaged or destroyed and it made me feel grateful for the roof that I have over my head!
  
  
• I'm grateful for the food that I have in my refridgerator and I grateful for the refridgerator because it is fairly new too - about a year old - that I was able to get with a grant program! For a time when I had my old refridgerator it was on it last legs and now that I have a new refridgerator I just can't tell you how good it feels to be able to make and have ice again!
  
  
• I'm grateful for my talents. Almost everyone has something that they are good at and it made me realize that that included me too! I love being able to work on my computer and am grateful that I have been able to earn money working on my computer with my blogs and the adsense.
  
  
• I'm also grateful for this time of the year. I love this time of the year - although it seems to be going by so quickly! Halloween was a great time and I had a great time watching spooky movies. Election Day was quite a glorious and wonderful day! The scenery and the leaves are just a wonder to enjoy as I look out my windows and soak in all the wonderful fall colors!
  
  Thanksgiving is next week and I plan to soak up the joy of that day too by preparing my turkey and watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade! I'm looking forward to putting the turkey in the oven and smelling it cooking throughout the entire house!
  
  
• I'm very grateful for the money that I do have in the bank because even though it is not much it is keeping my bank balance in the positive. I have a couple more weeks until I get my Adsense payment and I'm grateful for that too because it seems that a lot of people that have the Adsense program on their sites are even earning the minimum amount needed ($100) during the month to be able to get an adsense payment the next month - so I am grateful for the money that I have earned (and continue to earn) with the adsense program - believe me that money has come in quite handy and it was definitely needed and appreciated!

Yes, I have a lot of things to be grateful for.............................

What I Am Grateful For.....

I have been feeling a little bit (well actually a lot) down and depressed because of some problems that I am having so here is my gratitude list for today.

I am grateful for:

• having a roof over my head! It's currently raining outside (I live in Philadelphia) and the weather is a little bit chilly.
  
  
• I am grateful for the food that I have now in my refridgerator. As a matter of fact I am grateful for the fridge itself because I was able to get that with a grant program
  
  
• I am always grateful for my cat (who just had lunch by the way!) It's good to have a pet - although sometimes I think I'm the pet and my cat is the owner!
  
  
• I am grateful for the positive balance in my bank account! Even though its under a dollar it still is a positive balance which means that I'm not being charged any fees!
  
  
• I am grateful for my talents and abilities and the skills that I have. I may not be rich (right now) but I have been paid for my work in the past!

Any time that you are feeling down or depressed take the time to write a gratitude list and write down the things that you are grateful for.

Stay Positive!

I saw someone post this and it reminded me of what it is I have to do and that is to stay positive!

There are just so many people who are more worse off than me and I have a lot of things that I am (and should be)grateful for!

I'm just feeling a little (well a LOT) bit down because of something I don't have - which tells me that my feelings are those of lack - which tells me that I have to change those feelings.

From all the things that I have read the best piece of advice that I remember is to when you're feeling down just think about all the things that you are grateful for! (I got this advice from "The Secret")

Here are the things that I am grateful for:

• I am so grateful that I have less than 2 weeks before I get my Adsense check!
  
  
• Even though I have added a Donations button to this blog I haven't gotten any donations so far but the bright side is that I do have the ability to accept donations.
  
  
• After watching on the news about how some people have lost their homes to an apartment fire I am so very grateful for the home that I live in and that it is up and still standing strong!
  
  
• I am always grateful for my cat who is my little furry companion
  
  
• I am grateful for the food that is in my refridgerator!
  
  
• I am grateful for the money that I do have in my bank account because it is keeping my bank balance in the positive so that there are no banking fees being assessed to my bank accont. (I have "been there and done that" and I didn't like that at all!) So I'm glad for my positive bank balance!

Remember to stay positive and focus on what it is that you do want!

I remember the law of attraction working for me two days ago when wishing I had something that I wanted so bad and it appeared! It was in a drawer and I had forgotten all about it!

I have to remember to use this principle when manifesting the life of my dreams!

Sometimes it is so hard though but I have to follow my own advice and that is to stay positive, be grateful for the things that I DO have and keep my focus on the things that I do want to maifest into my life!

I Am Grateful For.................

Here is my gratitude list for today:

• I'm always grateful for my pet cat - who is right now in one of the bedrooms sitting on top of one of the dressers!
  
  
• I am grateful for the fact that I have air conditioning and its on now because the current temperature outside is 94 degrees!
  
  
• I am grateful to have a fully working refridgerator and freezer because it wasn't so long ago that I didn't - because now I have a nice glass full of icy cold water!
  
  
• I am grateful for the food that is in my refridgerator now
  
  
• I am grateful for my house that I LOVE with its front and back porch and the garden that I have started!
  
  
• I am grateful for the fact that I have a washing machine in the basement so that I can do laundry at home instead of having to have to go to a laundomat!
  
  
• I am grateful for my Dell computer and the fact that I am able to be online!

As you (and I) can see - I have a lot of things to be grateful for!

I'm Kind Of In A Grumpy Mood!

So you know what that means! It's time to make another list of the things that I am grateful for!

What I am grateful for today!

I'm grateful for:

• the fact that my adsense earnings are increasing! You have to make a minimum of $100 before you are eligible to get an adsense payment the next month and I'm more than half-way there!
  
  
• I'm always grateful for my cat who is my furry little companion, except for when she wants to be alone! - LOL!
  
  
• I'm grateful for the food that is in my refridgerator!
  
  
• I'm grateful that I am able to have my air conditioning on this humid day!
  
  
• I'm grateful for the gorgeous view outside the window - the sun is shining in all of it's glory!
  
  
• I'm grateful for the area where I live and my neighbors who are great!

Abundance

I just read a very inspiring article about abundance - after a day of feeling not so great - so I decided to post about it here.

While there are some aspects of my life that do not have abundance there are other areas of my life where I do have abundance.

Here is my gratitude list for today.

I am grateful for:

• being able to use my computer and to have Internet access. Part of my work and my income involve having the use of a computer and internet access. I have definitely made more money and have been able to have an income all because of having a computer and having internet access!
  
  
• after seeing on the news how so many people have lost their homes to flooding I am very grateful for my house and where I live.
  
  
• of course I am always grateful for my little furry pet companion - who is in the room directly across from me sitting on top of the television set and she is facing me - LOL!
  
  
• I am grateful for the food that I have been able to eat for today!
  
  
• I am grateful for my adsense because it is another way that I am able to make money and what makes it even better is that I am able to make money online in a very legitimate way!
  
  
• I am grateful for my front porch, my back porch and the views out of my windows - which I view sometimes when I am having a nice hot cup of soothing tea.
  
  
• I am grateful for my garden! So many times in the past I have procrastinated about my garden and/or I have had other things on my mind but even with my current "worries" I decided to go ahead and start my garden this year. I have even started planting and so far I see that some of my plantings are starting to come up - even though its still kind of early in the growing season

What I Am Grateful For? My Adsense Account!

I have been looking at some of the message boards and I see that there are a lot of people who are upset because their Adsense account got disabled.

If you are not familiar with Adsense it is a site that lets you place ads on your website or blog and you earn money when visitors to your site click on the ads. You can find out more about this online way to make money by going to The Adsense Consultant's Blog and finding out more about this program.

Adsense is a part of Google now so I think that you can be secure that it is not another money-making scam kind of thing. This program is actually a very good and legitimate way to make money online!

However going back to my original post a lot of people are posting that their adsense accounts are getting disabled - either because of invalid clicks or reports from adsense that their sites are not benefitting the advertisers.

So far my blog is "so far so good!"

What I Am Grateful For Today

I was feeling a little bit down today so I decided to make a list of the things that I am grateful for.

Here is a list of the things that I am grateful for today:

• I am grateful that I have Internet access. My power was out for a while and I missed having it so much! Even so I do have my local library which is in walking distance and I can always use the computers there.
  
  
• I'm grateful for my cat who just had her breakfast and she thanked me with a kiss!
  

• I'm grateful for my local community radio station that is playing in the background
  

• I'm grateful for this gorgeous day! The sun is shining brightly and I have a gorgeous view outside my window.
  

• I'm grateful for the breakfast that I had which was tea, fruit and pastry. And I'm also grateful for the food that I DO have in my refridgerator right now. As a matter of fact I am very grateful for my new refridgerator that I was able to get with the help of a grant. My old refridgerator was definitely on its last legs and it feels so good to be able to have ice cubes again with my new refridgerator.
  

• I'm grateful for my neighbors who are just the nicest bunch of people and we look out for each other.
  

• I'm grateful for my health!
  

  and
  

• I'm gratelful that I have enough money in my bank account to keep it in the positive!

After listening to the news I realize that I have a LOT to be grateful for!

Whenever you are feeling down just make a list of at least 5 things that you are grateful for. That should help to cheer you up and realize how much you DO have as opposed to what you don't have.

Focus on the postive and don't focus on the negative!
