Right now, one of the big trends on facebook is the gratitude posts. People will post something for which they are grateful each day and then number the days. I love the idea. I think that in this world with all of its choices, daily stresses, and, well, just everything on the news everyday, it is a good way to refocus, reset, and empower ourselves with all the many positive things and blessings we have in this country and community.
A relative of the gratitude post is the list of "My Favorite Things." Making such a list of the things you hold most dear can provide a springboard for a gratitude list. It is the perfect time at the beginning of the year to direct your mind to those things that are positive in your life--those things that make your heart happy. In one of my favorite musicals, The Sound of Music, the Von Trapp family governess, Maria, even sings about her favorite things to help the eight children in her charge refocus their fears on a stormy night to think of things that make them smile...

So, here are the rules for this week's post: Make a list of your 25 most favorite THINGS. The key word is THINGS. No people allowed on your list. That removes the pressure you may feel to name every family member and friend. People and things should never be categorized together. People come first. This list is much more light-hearted.
It was REALLY tougher than I thought to narrow it down to 25 for me (initially, I was afraid I would draw a blank!) but here is what came to mind first for me. If you get stuck, go back and listen to Maria's song again, or review my list for inspiration, but really try to just take pen to paper and write what comes to your mind first. It will probably be the most honest answer. :)
Let's start the New Year off with a list of all the things we love...those things for which we are most grateful.
Your soul will thank you.
