Grateful Living

A new blog was born, on the 1st of October. It's called Grateful Living. All initiated by the fantastic Molly Alexander. This is some of what she says about it:

"

For a while now I have been wanting to create a forum for people to express thanksgiving for the blessings in their lives. To show that there are so many things to be thankful for; big and small, they are there, and all we need to do is take the time to stop, look around and recognize them.

...

A blog devoted solely to expressing gratitude,

...

Between us, maybe we can spread a bit of an "attitude of gratitude" together.

...

Seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Finding the small blessings in the big storms.

Waking up, breathing in, and recognizing that each day is a gift.

Seeing the glass as half-full.

Stepping off the treadmill of life and standing still for a moment to stop and smell the roses.

Looking beyond faults and recognizing the good in others.

Being thankful for what you have and not worrying away all your time wishing for what you don't.

"

So did you see my name right in there? I am so very honored to be a part of this group of fantastic ladies.

Molly's idea is that we will be posting 3 to 4 times a week with snippets of our lives that we are grateful for to share with you.

I myself am just now in the middle of completing my own first contributing post. About something I am so immensely grateful for, something I believe not many of you even know exists. So ... until it gets posted ... stay curious ;-) , and please head over now to the Grateful Living Blog and join us on our journey!

All my best,

Malin
