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!

Belly Dancing?

I was having lunch and decided to see what was on television. I turned on to my local public tv station and saw a woman who taught belly dancing!

What was really interesting was that she had some of her students perform some of the belly dancing routines that they had learned. It was very interesting to see this! The costumes that the women wore were absolutely gorgeous but what was most inspiring was seeing that the women were of all different types of shapes and sizes.

They performed their belly dancing routines and it looked like they were enjoying theirselves so much. It was as though the belly dancing made them feel good and made them feel good about themselves.

What a wonderful thing to see!

"I Want To Feel Good!"

Basically in a nutshell this is exactly how I want to feel - GOOD!

• I am grateful for my health
  
  
• I am grateful for my sanity

What I Am Grateful For Today

I was talking to my brother on the phone tonight and it got me to thinking about the things that I have now that I have and should be grateful for.

The weather is starting to get warmer now and that means it would be a good idea to get outside more. I have both a front and back porch and I was reminded of this when my brother told me that there is no where for him to sit outside of his apartment building - and that made me think of my two porches.

As a matter of fact I haven't had a chance this year to enjoy my porches - except for the occassional "outside" things that I do like emptying the trash - because I have been worried about other things.

Worry is something that I definitely have to work on. The more you worry about something the more power you give to it.

Instead of worrying about the problem I should be thinking about the solution(s).

What I Am Grateful For Today

Here are some of the things that I am grateful for today:

• While I haven't got my adsense payment yet, I'm grateful for the fact that I know that some people have posted that they have received their "Payment in process" line in their adsense accounts so I know that mine can't be too far behind and that I will have it soon!
  
  
• I'm grateful for the food that I had for dinner
  
  
• I'm grateful for my cellphone - just spent about 40 minutes talking to my brother
  
  
• I'm grateful for my computer and my internet access and being able to afford paying my internet access
  
  
• I'm grateful for my house
  
  
• and last but not least I'm grateful for my cat!

I'm Still Waiting For My Adsense Check......

This is one of those situations where I should note what I am grateful for. I'm grateful that I'm getting an Adsense check at all. So many people have said how they have added adsense to their sites and have made little to no money from it yet.

You have to earn at least $100 during the month before Adsense will send you a payment and fortunately I was able to earn this amount last month. So now that I'm supposed to get an adsense payment this month for last month's earnings, I'm anxiously awaiting the payment.

What Would I Do If (When) I Won The Lottery?

I do buy lottery tickets every now and then. Recently a group of women won a $200 Million Dollar + lottery and I am very happy for them. I know that that money will come in handy for them.

They all said that they would continue to work - at least for now.

What would I do if I won the lottery? Well the first thing that I would do is pay off my bills and I would pay the mortgage off on my house. I would also buy a good used car - I'm not too much a fan of new cars!

More importantly I would set some of the money aside and keep it in the bank to use in case of emergencies.

Also too, if the amount of lottery money that I won was substantial I think that I would start a foundation to help people who are having financial difficulties.

I would also donate a percentage to my favorite charity causes.

And while I know that wise financial planning has to play a good part in keeping my finances together I am also going to have some "mad" money! Just to go and buy something that will make me feel good!

Talents!

I just spent some time updating my website and it made me realize that I have a talent (I should say an additonal talent)

I also think about this when I'm watching television. I see a commercial with Rachel Ray in it and what comes to my mind is here is someone that loves to cook and she has managed to make a successful career out it. Cooking is one of her many talents.

My talent for being able to create and modify webpages is very useful for me. I haven't thought of becoming a webpage designer but I actually could because I do have experience with it.

You may not think that you have any talents but my guess is that you would probably be wrong.

No Mail For 2 Days!

One of the things that I most definitely have to work on is worry!

Even my astrological sign says that I do tend to worry alot!

I did not get any mail for 2 days! A lot of people would probably consider this a blessing because it would have meant no bills and no advertisements! But for me it made me worry. The thoughts that came in my mind was that 'well maybe the mail stopped delivering here' - now why would I think of something like that!

Instead of dwelling on the negative aspect of my worry - what I'm supposed to do in a situation like this is to turn this around.

Instead of worrying about not getting any mail I should be glad to know that my mail is in order and that I haven't done anything to cancel my mail. I just didn't get any mail for two days.

On day three - I got mail!

I'm Dealing With Negative Thoughts Today

Where I feel lack I should feel abundance!

Today has been a day of negative and angry thoughts. If anything this should show me what I do not want!

Here is my "Things That I Am Grateful For" list for today

• I am grateful that I have a computer and am able to be online
  

• I am grateful to have a blog that can be visited from people all over the world
  
  
• I am grateful for my adsense income.
  
  
• I am always grateful for my cat who is lounging by the window now
  
  
• I am grateful for my home
  
  
• I am grateful for my talents and passions
  
  
• What I am most grateful for right now is my sanity!

A "word" here about negative thoughts:

From what and all that I have learned the thing to do with negative thoughts is to turn them into positive thoughts. Although I am having some difficulty with this the mere fact that I'm posting about it now helps me to realize that!

So the negative thoughts that I am having I am going to turn them into positive thoughts - meaning if I am feeling a lack of something then I going to turn that around to having a feeling of the abundance of it!

It seems to be a very hard thing for me to do but I am going to work on it for the rest of the day!

What I Am Grateful For Today

I'm grateful for:

• the leftover "takeout" that I had for dinner tonight because it reminds me that I am capable of earning money online - this time with Adsense and it also reminds me of how good it feels to be able to afford ordering out every once in a while!
  
  
• I'm always grateful for my little cat - who is my furry companion and "fight" partner! She's eating dinner now!
  
  
• the jazz music that's playing in the background while I'm at the computer
  
  
• the money that I have that is going to allow me to buy more food and household essential items
  
  
• being inside a nice warm house while the winds and the rain are wrecking havoc outside
  
  
• my computer and being able to afford and have internet access. I'm also grateful for my all-in-one printer that allows me to make copies at midnight - a time of my choosing - so that I don't have to go "out" to make copies
  
  
• the talents that I do have! Just being able to have a blog - or should I say blogs - and continually being able to add more posts about my life so that other people can see that they are not alone with their problems. Hopefully this blog will help and inspire others too!
