Positively Grateful

I don't typically blog on Saturdays, but since I'm still rolling through the April A-Z challenge I'll make an exception. Today's word comes from an American friend I met while living in England.

Our daughters went to high school together and we were both involved with Young Life and the American Women's Club so spent a fair amount of time together back in the day. She's a woman of genuine warmth and her faith runs deep. She encourages me to keep looking for that silver lining, and the word she chose suits her-

Day 16-P is for Positive


One thing that helps me stay positive in this topsy turvy world is cultivating a heart of gratitude. Sometimes gratitude comes automatically and sometimes we need to stop what we're doing and take stock. 

During the last A-Z I used Saturdays for making a list of 20 small blessings featuring the letter of the day, and that's what I want to do now. Unfortunately P was one of the letters I made a list for in 2019 so I'm going to have to get creative. 

Can I come up with another 20? I think so, and NO double dipping (aka repeats). You can read last year's list by clicking the link here

The letter p and things for which I'm positively grateful-

promises kept
a red ripe plum
poetry
making plans
precious grandbabies
answered prayer
freshly painted walls
purple pansies
possibility 
the perfect shade of polish
peaceful mornings
French pastry
an accident prevented
a field of poppies
my sister P
the letters and wisdom of Paul
a dip in the pool on a warm summer day
crossword puzzles
free parking
a problem solved

What would be on your 'P' list?

  3. What a lovely list! I share many of your choices, but I'll add peonies, pomegranates, and pretty paper packages.

  4. I love your list. My list would have puzzles on with a capital P - I love all sorts of puzzles, especially during this crazy time.
