Day 60 of my 95-Day Gratitude Challenge

"Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you,
knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation."
Brian Tracy

This morning I am grateful for the canned soup I warmed up in the microwave and drink for breakfast. It warmed me up from the inside and helped me to get my day started.

"We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think.
When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves."
Buddha

This morning I am grateful for the quote by Buddha that I received as a prompt for today's blog entry for "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  because it got me to thinking about why I'm having difficulty completing "Mark of the Blue Wolf" .

The essence of faith is fewness of words and abundance of deeds;
he whose words exceed his deeds, know verily his death is better than his life.
Baha'u'llah, from ASL-I-KULLU’L-KHAYR (Words of Wisdom), Tablets of Baha'u'llah Revealed After the Kitab-i-Aqdas, Pages 157

This morning I am grateful for today's prompt from "Blogging Circle of Friends "  because it made me remember part of the above quote from Baha'u'llah. This got me to thinking about the way I have been haphazardly accomplishing my goal, which caused me to consider ways I can do a better job of accomplishing the goals I set or changing them to goals that are more in attune with what I want to accomplish.

This afternoon I am thankful that I have completed "Chapter 27: Rainbow Minster"  of "Mark of the Blue Wolf"  with 1,733 words. This means I have 4,010 words to go to reach the 50,000 word goal before midnight on Sunday, November 30, 2014.

This afternoon I am thankful that Joanna and I went to Macyos Mexican restaurant for lunch and talking. It was nice to go out and relax a little bit. I brought home some food to fix an omelet with for breakfast.

This afternoon I am thankful that I could give Joanna the boxes of cheese I had in the refrigerator because now I do not have to worry about figuring out a way to eat it and I do not have to throw it away.

This evening I am thankful that I have completed "Chapter 28: Wolf Wood"  of "Mark of the Blue Wolf"  with 1,737 words. This means I have only 2,273 words left to go with two chapters left to complete before Sunday, November 30 at midnight.

This evening I am thankful that I have 3,880 points in my National Consumer Panel account. I am not sure what I will purchase just yet; I may want to purchase something else for the house.

This evening I am thankful that I was able to complete all 13 weeks of "Poetic Exploration Discussion Forum" . I wrote all 13 poems plus a few more.

This evening I am thankful that I received my new Humana health card today. I put in in my wallet and threw the old one away.
