“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings,” ― William Arthur Ward
Is there anything worth being grateful for?
Yes, there’s a lot.
Maybe because it’s December. Maybe because Christmas is coming. Maybe because 2015 is about to end. Maybe because a new year will be here soon.
I don’t know why, but my heart is now full of gratitude.
Work’s still busy, (it’s evident because for the second week in a row I missed posting for A Reading Writer’s weekly feature Monday Musings and Top Ten Tuesdays).
Christmas bonus is still aren’t with me (yep, it’s heartbreaking!).
But I am blissful, I am thankful, I am grateful.
Grateful for a lot of things that I plan to discuss for 50 consecutive days, starting on Sunday, December 06.
Before that, I personally want to thank some awesome bloggers for the award nominations that have piled up already.
Thank you:
- T of Thistles and Whistles for Versatile Blogger Award. I know it has been months, T, I’m really really sorry. :-* Please forgive me!
- Yvo of A Lady and Gaming Plus for Infinity Dreams Award. I know I said I will post soon but I am still unable to do it. Sorry! 😦

I cannot express how thankful I am for you guys and may you all forgive me for not posting them soon. 🙂

Thanks Rose. I am having fun with the second blog I started. It is a photo a day and with so many inspirational posts from bloggers like yourself it has been easy t come up with topics to match up with a pic. It is quite quick and easy to plan a post and can be scheduled ahead of time. Of course that doesn’t stop me from waffling on Nihongo Japango!
