The Grateful Daily

It has been a year.  My 365 blog has come to an end.  How do you end a 365 blog? Where do I go from here?  A new 365 blog? 

This blog has changed my life.  Seriously.  In small day-to-day ways and on a much grander scale; like universe-big-change.

Why do I say this?

Well, when I make a conscience effort to write about what I am grateful for EVERYDAY, it made me think of my life on a whole new level.  On the really tough days I had to search for something to be grateful for AND on the great days I had to search for something to be grateful for...out of the many to choose from.  I think that when I put out into the universe, to God, to life...the things that I notice in my own life and I am truly grateful for them, well it send out a good vibe, good karma.  It made me think differently.  It made me look differently.  It made me think and look at life, love and happiness more positively and more respectively. 

I can go back and read my writing this year and remember each and every day through my post...that is quite remarkable.  I am proud to have remembered a whole year of my life; day-by-day.  The big picture of a whole year is not lost, but neither is my daily life forgotten by the big picture.  It makes me smile.

Do I need to quit my 365 blog? 

I don't think I do.

Can I just call it my Grateful Daily blog...for another 365 days? 

I think I just made my decision. 

2010 you have been good to me.  It has been a great and fun ride.  It also has been a bumpy and rough ride.  Overall I am truly grateful for the things I have learned along the way.  It will most definitely be a year remembered, and remembered well. 

I look forward to 2011 and all that it has to offer; more good, more positive and more learning.  I look forward to more love, light, joy and happiness.  I look forward to another year of life; being with my boys as they grow and learn; being with my husband as he starts a new chapter in our lives; being in the moment and enjoying time spent. 

Welcome 2011!
