Gratitude- Reflections on a Year of Gratitude

Every day I try and list things that I am grateful for.

It’s sort of a combination gratitude and “things I enjoyed today” list.I use a little app on my phone to do it.

On Thanksgiving I thought it might be interesting to review the last year and see for what I had the most gratitude.

I went through and put things into categories and totaled them up.

Some gratitude observations:

Gratitude for my family (Adrienne, Jordan and Damian) was the thing I was most grateful for last year. Music came in not too far behind.

 

The Top 10 Gratitude Items in order:

1. Family
2. Music
3. Food
4. Friends
5. Dogs
6. Sobriety
7. Work
8. Nice weather
9. Health (mine and family’s)
10. Comforts- having heat and hot water makes regular appearances in this category.

I apparently like naps because I have 28 instances of being grateful for a nap or sleeping in. Espresso also shows up an awful lot. I clearly need more sleep.

Late in the year, working on this podcast started to enter the list and shows up very often.
