Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas readers!  My hope is that you all have a wonderful day.

Long after the paper is trashed, the gift cards are used up and you’ve long forgotten what was in those boxes under the tree, I hope you carry with you the warm memories you create today.  That is the real gift.  I hope you feel the love of God and the love of your friends and family today and in the new year.

Have a great Christmas.

Gratitude: Cultivating a habit

I try to keep a Gratitude Journal, though many days I fail to use it.  I forget about it, or am too tired (lazy) to pick it up and write. I think gratitude is important in trying to maintain a positive outlook.  Try to be thankful for small things as well as big blessings in your life and you’ll find yourself more content with what you already have.

With that in mind I’d like to take the time today to thank readers of this blog for linking to Not Enough Coffee from their own blog or on Facebook, re-tweeting links for articles, mentioning @enoughcoffee in a Follow Friday and just general support.

As always, thanks to my friends and family for love, support, comments and link sharing!  :)

Thanks to:

My random and awesome co-workers who frequently inspire article ideas and listen to me ramble on until a workable thought is formed.  I’ll not name names, (to protect the innocent) but you know who you are.

Jon of Awesome By Default- who helped me learn WordPress and all the shenanigans that are involved in getting a site running and gave me a place to start writing again.

If I have forgotten anyone, I apologize.  If you’ll just let me know in the comments how awesome you are I will edit and rectify the situation immediately.
