What are you thankful for right now?

debut on Mamamia last month

It’s inspired by the delightful ThxThxThx blog, “a daily exercise in gratitude” where US creative director Leah Dietrich writes a daily thank-you note to something in her life.

Here are a couple of examples from this week:

OK. My turn:

Dear Nits,

Thank you for coming into our house. Sitting with my kids and going through their hair painstakingly every night was annoying at first but I quickly came to appreciate the quiet time to just be with them and have a chat. And the actual process of hunting down you and all your eggs ended up being tremendously satisfying. Who knew?

Who or what do you want to write a thank you note to?

Remember, this is not about sarcasm, whining or moaning. It’s about finding genuine delight and gratitude in all sorts of things…….

Dear Work,

Thank you for sending me back home to Australia 2 months early. I can wait to surprise my family by turning up at the door instead of showing my face on Skype!
I have missed them so much.

Love Me

Dear Wintery Weather

Thank you for being a delightful excuse to wear all the winter clothes I've bought, comfy leggings, toasty jackets, snug scarves, and most importantly, providing me with my favourite thing to do - lie in bed and listen to the rain.
Here's to the months ahead!
