Day 21: Gratitude List

Thanksgiving seemed like an appropriate time to begin this self-care routine, submitted by my sweet friend Aleata:

for one week, write down a gratitude list just before you go to sleep of things you encountered during the day that you are grateful for or made you smile

My Thursday night list included the following:

• Friends who provide me with light and humor, support and love me even when I'm a hot mess (because that I was on Thanksgiving)
• My sister--my favorite person in the whole wide world
• My "I'm Yours" Pandora station
• Cooking on a Sunday day in my light-filled kitchen
• Shredded cheese :-)
