Hi Creators!
Today is my birthday and I am 37 years old… so I thought I would blog about 37 things I am grateful for. I invite you to do something similar and share. You can’t help but be happy when you focus on being grateful.
37 Reasons I Am Grateful
- The way my husband makes me laugh
- My 12 year old’s humor–she tells some great jokes that always make me cry “happy” tears
- My 11 year old’s smile and cute button nose (She looks like her mommy)
- My 7 year old’s sparkle–her eye’s have literally sparkled since birth
- My 1 1/2 year old’s laughter–it totally melts my heart
- My weenie dog’s addiction to her ball–it is always entertaining
- My older cat’s daily practice of “Sun Salutations”
- My kitten’s attitude that we should all be playing all the time
- Books–can’t imagine my life without them
- Nature–refuels my soul
- My health–I never want to take it for granted
- The health of my family–if you have healthy kids, you have everything
- The amazing network of individuals that I am lucky enough to connect with and serve at my companies
- My amazing team of talented virtual assistants that I couldn’t live without (yea Punkers Bean!)
- Texas weather (I like it hot!)
- Swimming pools–because I like to cool off too
- Color–I love experimenting with paint color
- Girlfriends–especially the ones you can talk to every six months and still pick up right where you left off

- That life is organic–thank goodness we get to evolve
- That there truly are no limits
- That our bodies are very forgiving and amazing machines–take care of it and it always responds
- That my neighbor is always so honest with me (and one of the very few people in my life that gets away with it)
- That my husband evolves–even if he is light years behind where I prefer that he be
- That my husband always dreams with me
- Flowers
- Freedom
- Struggle (like my divorce) — it taught me how to be a better person and put my on the right path so I could be
- Forgiveness–helps me move on and “get busy living”
- Movies–I love the escape and I love to learn a lesson

Hi Sheri,
I have only just stumbled upon your website and only just going through my divorce and looking to start my own business. Speaking from across ‘the pond’ (UK) I have found reading you and your members sharing of experiences very encouraging. I have bought your book and can’t wait to read it when it arrives. The 37 reasons to be grateful will certainly help me focus on making a new life for myself.
