Thankful Thursday: Gratitude List for June 14, 2018

Istijlál (Majesty), 10 Núr (Light) 175 B.E. - Thursday, June 14, 2018

This is going to be an interesting exercise (not sure if that is the right word here) for two reason. First, I am feeling guilty about the "Preemptive Gratitude List", and I think the guilt has something to do with my childhood religious experiences. Second, I have not restricted this item to "Keep PRIVATE for my eyes only!" This is something I normally do when I am composing a blog entry. I will see how this goes today and decide tomorrow or next week how I want to continue composing blog entries.

Gratitude List

O Thou All-Glorious Lord,
I give thanks for the blessing I have already receive.

I am thankful for the two working air conditioners we have in this apartment.
I am thankful for the Arizona sweet tea I had for lunch.
I am thankful that my checking account is not overdrawn.
I am thankful that I receive a merit badge last week.

I am thankful that I was able to collect a new trinket for my participation in "I Write in 2018" .

I think I will try something new, instead of waiting until Thursday to write down everything I can remember that I am thankful for. I will write one thing in my pen and paper journal each night, and list all seven in the next Thankful Thursday entry. I always have trouble listing ten different items each week, and sometimes I list the same things over and over for a month or two.

Preemptive Gratitude List

O Thou All-Glorious Lord,
I give thanks for blessings I am about to receive.

I am thankful for the assistance in getting the money for a "new to me" car.
