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

  1. The way my husband makes me laugh
  2. My 12 year old’s humor–she tells some great jokes that always make me cry “happy” tears
  3. My 11 year old’s smile and cute button nose (She looks like her mommy)
  4. My 7 year old’s sparkle–her eye’s have literally sparkled since birth
  5. My 1 1/2 year old’s laughter–it totally melts my heart
  6. My weenie dog’s addiction to her ball–it is always entertaining
  7. My older cat’s daily practice of “Sun Salutations”
  8. My kitten’s attitude that we should all be playing all the time
  9. Books–can’t imagine my life without them
  10. Nature–refuels my soul
  11. My health–I never want to take it for granted
  12. The health of my family–if you have healthy kids, you have everything
  13. The amazing network of individuals that I am lucky enough to connect with and serve at my companies
  14. My amazing team of talented virtual assistants that I couldn’t live without (yea Punkers Bean!)
  15. Texas weather (I like it hot!)
  16. Swimming pools–because I like to cool off too
  17. Color–I love experimenting with paint color
  18. Girlfriends–especially the ones you can talk to every six months and still pick up right where you left off
  19. Spas–pedicures are the best way to relax
  20. The Internet & Computer–gives me a way to connect and share my passions with others
  21. Information–it allows me to accomplish whatever my heart desires
  22. Coffee (Rasberry Mocha–Yum)
  23. Cheese
  24. Chocolate
  25. That life is organic–thank goodness we get to evolve
  26. That there truly are no limits
  27. That our bodies are very forgiving and amazing machines–take care of it and it always responds
  28. That my neighbor is always so honest with me (and one of the very few people in my life that gets away with it)
  29. That my husband evolves–even if he is light years behind where I prefer that he be
  30. That my husband always dreams with me
  31. Flowers
  32. Freedom
  33. Struggle (like my divorce) — it taught me how to be a better person and put my on the right path so I could be
  34. Forgiveness–helps me move on and “get busy living”
  35. Movies–I love the escape and I love to learn a lesson
  36. Music–always makes me feel like I am “cooler” than I am
  37. Sushi & Wine (Yum!)

To your success,

Sheri McConnell

    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.
