50 Happy Things for 2015: Bloggers Unite in Flood of Gratitude
Yesterday I was reading one of the blogs that I follow. Yes, I follow other bloggers. She had posted about 50 Happy Things. I really liked the idea of posting about happy things at this time of year. This last year has had ups and downs for me. A lot of them very hard. I have been really reflecting a lot on the year. And this idea of 50 things that I’m grateful for really appealed to me.
The year is almost over and I took the challenge they presented. You set a time for 10 minutes and write your 50 items. it is important to set the time. You can read more about the challenge here.
I decided not to explain beyond the one or two words for each thing. I have my reason but each one is very important to me.

I’m so glad you decided to participate. Great list! I love that you included tears.
Thank you so much for participating in Bloggers United in Gratitude. I love that you didn’t explain, and that you include tears (I should have!), quiet days (I need more) and clouds. With each new list I read (I’m reading them all, and grateful for each one), I feel myself fill up with gratitude, for the connection we can all feel, in sharing this meditation. Thank you for sharing your time and thoughts; it’s much appreciated!
Thank you for this reminder. I would add:
Jesus, laughter, hugs, clouds, mountains, breezes, our soldiers, our country, mail delivery, waterfalls, lightning storms.
