#410 – oops and weddings

Chelsea — Fri, 17 May 2013 10:39:50 +0000

To be totally honest, I forgot to update Think Thanks. I traveled to Chicago with my two little girls to attend the wedding of a dear friend and I got swallowed up in all of the prep and travel and return. The wedding was lovely and I felt very grateful to be there to witness all that love in one place.

Now we’re back and can now return to regularly scheduled programming. Is there a wedding that you’ve attended that you were especially grateful to be a part of? Let us know in the comments.

#410 – websites

Chelsea — Wed, 08 May 2013 13:45:33 +0000

There are a number of websites I visit regularly and feel very grateful that people put them out there.

Is there a website that you feel particularly grateful for? Or, give us something else entirely.

#409 – chance encounters

Chelsea — Tue, 07 May 2013 10:06:33 +0000

I walked to the park yesterday with the kids and as I approached the playground I thought to myself, “Ugh – I so rarely go to the park alone. This is going to be long and boring; it’s SO much more fun with a friend.” A moment later, I ran into a friend who was also there alone. I was so, so grateful. Grateful for the time with a friend when I hadn’t planned on it (but wanted it) AND for the fact that these things happen in life.

Now, I know this isn’t all about me. But there’s my example of a chance encounter. Serendipity?

Surely we have all had these experiences at one time or another. Think back to one you have had and try to tap into that gratitude. Will you tell us about it? Or, something else completely. Of course.

#408 – celebrations

Chelsea — Mon, 06 May 2013 10:00:23 +0000

Yesterday was Cinco De Mayo and I only updated Think Thanks at 9:30pm CST. It wasn’t because I was celebrating Cinco De Mayo but I WAS celebrating! My stepson’s birthday is this week. So – let’s think about celebrations. What celebrations are you grateful for? What about certain celebrations makes you feel grateful?

Let us know in the comments.

#407 – Cinco De Mayo

Chelsea — Mon, 06 May 2013 02:26:50 +0000

I didn’t forget about you today, Think-Thanksers! Time got away from me. And since I did nothing to celebrate Cinco De Mayo, I want you to tell me something you’re grateful for that is related to Cinco De Mayo.

Please?

#406 – choices

Chelsea — Sat, 04 May 2013 16:29:04 +0000

Today we want you to think about all of the choices you have to make on a daily basis. What choices are you grateful that you get to make and/or what choices are you grateful that you don’t have to make?

Let us know in the comments!

#405 – mish mash

Chelsea — Fri, 03 May 2013 14:07:21 +0000

Today I’m going to give you three words and those three words (or at least one) will put something in your brain you’re grateful for, I’m sure of it. Ready?

SWING

UNEXPECTED

REWARD

Go!

#404 – sounds of spring

Chelsea — Thu, 02 May 2013 09:59:33 +0000

Yesterday my kids were playing outside while I cleaned up and I rely heavily on being able to hear them playing. When there’s a stretch of silence, I know it’s time to check on them. Yesterday, there were lawn mowers and UPS trucks and tornado test sirens blaring and I couldn’t hear them very well. When it all calmed down later in the day and I could hear them again, I felt a rush of gratitude that I can hear and I felt so grateful for their giggling and bossing (we have some opinionated folks that live here) sounds.

What SOUNDS are you grateful for today? Let us know in the comments.

P.S.

Liz did the first 400 or so prompts, so I’m giving her a break. There are bound to be some repeats so bear with us. You are always free to tell us about something for which you are grateful that doesn’t at all relate to our prompts. Thanks for participating!
