50 Happy Things for 2015: Bloggers Unite in Flood of Gratitude

50 HAPPY THINGS FOR 2015: BLOGGERS UNITE IN FLOOD OF GRATITUDE

If you’d like to join in, here’s how it works: set a timer for 10 minutes; timing this is critical. Once you start the timer, start your list. The goal is to write 50 things that made you happy in 2015, or 50 thing that you feel grateful for. The idea is to not think too hard; write what comes to mind in the time allotted. When the timer’s done, stop writing. If you haven’t written 50 things, that’s ok. If you have more than 50 things and still have time, keep writing; you can’t feel too happy or too grateful!

To join the bloggers who have come together for this project: 1) Write your post and publish it (please copy and paste the instructions from this post, into yours) 2) Click on the blue frog at the bottom of this post. 3) That will take you to another window, where you can past the URL to your post. 4) Follow the prompts, and your post will be added to the Blog Party List.

Please note that only blog posts that include a list of 50 (or an attempt to write 50) things that made you feel Happy or 50 things that you are Grateful for, will be included. Please don’t add a link to a post that isn’t part of this exercise.

Thanks to Dawn Landau for the invitation to participate in this happy exercise! For more information on how to participate click on her name.

  • Dear Amy,

    You’ve made me feel quite special and have given me reason to smile this morning.
    On facebook, Liz asked me if the second book being published was as exciting as the first. Yes. It is. And now that I’m writing the third in the series, I still feel like a beginner and I’m still incredulous that my dream that began ten years ago is coming true.

    As for my list, I didn’t think I could type fast enough to make 50 in 10 minutes. My mom who begged me to take typing would be so proud. 😉 I didn’t take typing in school, my mother sat me down with my brother’s text book. I’d be a mess without backspace and delete keys. (You wanted to know all that, right?)

    Thank you so much for being a part of what I’m thankful for.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle
