"Why bother keeping a gratitude list of His gifts?" ~ Ann Voscamp
I had an almost perfect day! The only downside was the $50 winterization deal on my car turned out to be way more than that due to needing new brakes. I suppose if I look on the bright side of it, they were in pretty bad condition and might have failed at any time so Someone was looking out for me...certainly not my regular mechanic though.
I had a fantastic reflexology appointment with my good friend Diane who tried some ear reflexology for the first time on me. I woke up congested and hoped I was not getting too sick. She worked on that too and tonight I am just a wee bit congested on my left side but breathing well on the right side. I am sneezing up a storm though but feel pretty good, all things considered. I also feel quite strong in my body, as if something shifted in a good way today. I am intrigued with how the body works. My ears were very sensitive in places--who knew that the points in an ear could heal other parts of the body?
From there I met a friend who is feeding my addiction to a certain coffeehouse's salted caramel hot chocolate. We had a long chat, much overdue. I feel caught up with him and am so grateful for the time. Afterwards I met another friend for supper where we talked of her trip to Asia which was fascinating and I lingered in my mind over her photos of places where I had been in the spring. I loved the colours and the stories that accompanied her photos.
I came home and listened to Day 1 of the musical Advent calendar a friend in Britain sent me. I love the creativity of this time of year.
Voscamp says that keeping a gratitude list will increase your joy by 25%. That sounds like a pretty amazing benefit, don't you think? What are you grateful for this day?
Peace,
Suzanne
