A brand new year

I don't often do the New Year's resolution thing, but today I was reading about a woman who wrote down one thing for which she was grateful every day for a year. I always harp on myself to write more and take less for granted. Blogging my gratitude for one thing each day seems like a manageable way to accomplish that goal.

I missed the first 6 days of the year, so I'll backpedal a bit and write six entries today. Then it'll be one entry every day for 2012. Hopefully, this will help me to become a more thankful person, someone who counts their blessings and tries to find the positive in life instead of focusing on the negative. It all seems a little trite - I don't think this will change the world. I'm just trying to make a small change in myself.

So - January 1, 2012: I am grateful for my husband, who has my best interests at heart, always. I am grateful we got to ring in this year together, in a place that holds meaning for us, after an excellent 2011.
