2 Minute Grateful List {a challenge with a free printable}

A grateful list.

I need a grateful list today. It’s raining, and I don’t feel great, and I’m nervous about Samuel’s doctor visit, and I’m feeling overwhelmed with how underplanned my homeschool is for the fall right now, and there is laundry to be done, and the house needs a bit of work. I need, well, I need perspective.

I really need gratitude.

And sometimes I forget gratitude when I am in the midst of feeling like I am treading water. So instead of treading and thinking about everything that I can’t seem to get done or have yet to do or don’t know how to do I decided to sit down, set my timer for two minutes, and be grateful for all that is good. Simple things, really. Like this:

So now, I challenge you.  Right now where-ever you are. Write a grateful list.

It’s about the little simple everyday finding joy things.

If you’d like a 2 Minute Grateful list printable feel free to grab either of these grateful printables {they’re hosted on google docs}. The thankful one works fabulous with kids – start teaching them about looking for awesome and wonderful things now and you’ll be blessed by what they share {mine like yogurt, and a mom that gives hugs, and tomatoes from the garden}. Just take the time, those two minutes, as a family, or individually, to write down and remember the blessings that are all around you. Be blessed!

What are you grateful for today?
What did you remember to be thankful for during your two minutes of gratitude?
For those of you who follow the finding joy facebook page – feel free to take a pic of your 2Minute Grateful list and share it on my page – I’d love to see them!
