Last year, I followed in the footsteps of Jen over at Jenny’s Lark, and I wrote a list of 50 things I was grateful for in 2014. The list actually became 60 things, because I still had time and I had a lot to be grateful for! The exercise was originally a spin off a Daily Prompt challenge, that Jen created. Jen and I had so much fun with it, we added links to our blogs, as other bloggers followed suit. I found the writing experience so positive, that I kept it in mind as a something to do again for 2015.
This year, I reached out to a bunch of wonderful bloggers and suggested that we all come together and share gratitude. Some could make it and others couldn’t. And once again, Jen had a great idea: focus on happy and be grateful. It’s about choosing happy, choosing positive, over the negative things that we could focus on, she pointed out. Jen’s smart that way. Gratitude or Happiness–– Chicken or egg? In taking time to reflect on things that made me happy in 2015, I feel grateful. If I express gratitude, I find myself feeling happy. Either way, it’s a win/win. I guarantee, you that you will find yourself feeling good, smiling, feeling grateful and happy if you spend 10 minutes reflecting on positivity.
If you’d like to join in, here’s how it works: set a timer for 10 minutes; timing this is critical. Once you start the timer, start your list (the timer doesn’t matter for filling in the instructions, intro, etc). The goal is to write 50 things that made you happy in 2015, or 50 thing that you feel grateful for. The idea is to not think too hard; write what comes to mind in the time allotted. When the timer’s done, stop writing. If you haven’t written 50 things, that’s ok. If you have more than 50 things and still have time, keep writing; you can’t feel too happy or too grateful! When I finished my list, I took a few extra minutes to add links and photos.
To join us for this project: 1) Write your post and publish it (please copy and paste the instructions from this post, into yours) 2) Click on the blue frog at the very bottom of this post. 3) That will take you to another window, where you can past the URL to your post. 4) Follow the prompts, and your post will be added to the Blog Party List. Please note: the InLinkz will expire on January 15, 2015. After that date, no blogs can be added.
Please note that only blog posts that include a list of 50 (or an attempt to write 50) things that made you feel Happy or 50 things that you are Grateful for, will be included. Please don’t add a link to a post that isn’t part of this exercise; I will remove it. Aside from that one caveat, there is no such thing as too much positivity. Share your happy thoughts, your gratitude; help us flood the blogosphere with both!
May your holidays be filled with happiness and gratitude!
Now for my list:
50(ish) Happy Things From 2015… That I Feel Grateful For:
(in no particular order)
- My family- I am so grateful that I have people I love so much, who love me so much in return.
- The birth of my first grandchild, Amitai Shelev, this past August. Every single day he brings me joy! And oh the sweet smell of him, in his first three weeks! I could have died of happiness.
- I am so grateful for the photos, videos, Skype dates that my daughter shares with me, so that I can see my grand baby! He lives in Israel. That is a very long way from where I live, but the use of computers, smart phones, Skype, help make that distance infinitely more bearable.
- I am enormously happy for the 14 years of love that I’ve had from my gorgeous boy, Luke. He is a 16 years old lab and approaching his last day. While my heart is broken now, it has been made better and stronger for the love he has shown me. I am so grateful.

- I’m so grateful for music. It’s my life blood. I am so happy EVERY time I hear Counting Crows’ Mr Jones or Stevie Nicks’ Landslide.

- I’m humbled by all the good things that have come my way this year–– I feel happy and grateful for all of it!
- I’m happy that we have mountains nearby and grateful that I’m able to see the ocean, from my kitchen each day.
- I’m happy when my Hanukkah candles are lit, and my Christmas tree is decorated.

I am touched by every single family that lets me into the room, invites me to share such sacred time, that thank me for my presence. I am so grateful for Hospice! If you want to really feel touched, and see gratitude, read the comments in THIS post. They blew me away!!
Phew! I got that last one typed just after the timer went off! It’s true that sitting and doing this kind of meditation, brings a smile to my face and makes it easier to think of other things I’m grateful for, other things that make me happy.

I feel like I held off on some of the hard stuff, because I’ve written enough about all that, this year. It’s time for healing and looking toward positivity. The pain is part of the journey, but I was happy to focus on the good stuff… Admittedly, #4 causes a lump in my throat, a giant yank on my heart, each time I pause. It will be a very hard day, indeed, saying goodbye to this boy I love so dearly. But yes, fun and sunshine is good too. xox

I understand that. The hard stuff and the sunshiney stuff fold so tightly into each other sometimes. I think all the lists I’ve read so far reflect a bit of both, but when every few words is happy or thankful– even the rain clouds look pretty silver. 🙂 ❤

I guess, I’m not sure how to answer your question. If you did it for 10 minutes, as per instructions, you should have one post… not sure what you mean, but I’ll check yours out. However, you should only add one link. You could add the first, and then add directions at the bottom of that post, to find the others? That’s what seems to make the most sense. I would only have 1 link added, to be fair to others.

Well, as I said in the post… I wrote the items, and then took a few more minutes to add links and a few descriptions. I think it was about 15 minutes total. I type fast, I talk a lot–> write a lot, and I was hurrying. Later, I realized that I didn’t really put a lot of thought into it. Maybe that’s how it should be? Spontaneous. Mostly, I was worried about mucking up the link for others… so I was worried. I’m SO grateful that so many awesome bloggers contributed… and really happy that you took some time on that plane, to think about this. Thanks!
