Before Thanksgiving gets too far behind in the rear-view mirror, I’d like to share one more post about gratitude. It comes from our friends at the TheAbundanceProject.com. They describe their mission like this: “The Abundance Project is a world wide movement delivering inspiration and tools for unlocking health, wealth, and happiness.”
All the research we review here at boomermale.com continues to support the idea that when practiced regularly, gratitude improves our lives across all the important areas. For us, that is health, wealth and happiness. So while your nibbling on that last piece of pumpkin pie or turkey sandwich, take a look at what you can be grateful for.
10 Things To Be Grateful for Every Day
“No matter where you are in the world or what is going on in your life right now, I can promise you that showing gratitude for your blessings will make you happier, more successful, and will put you one step closer to achieving the abundant life you desire.”

Okay, in no particular order here are 10, count ’em, 10 things you can be grateful for every morning you wake up.
1. Family: Not everyone has a mother, a father, or even siblings, but all of us are blessed with family in one way or another.
2. Your Mind: Our minds allow us to reason, to think creatively, and to make decisions that will impact our future. It’s important to show gratitude for your mind, even if it has its limitations.
3. The Opportunity to Learn: Whether you’ve had a formal education or not, all of us have the opportunity to learn something new everyday.
4. Your Mentors: Mentors are the people that inspire us, teach us, and help us become the best version of ourselves.
5. The Sunrise: Each sunrise is a sign that you have another day to make an impact on the world.
6. Trials: Our trials and challenges provide us with a unique opportunity to grow, mature and become better people.
7. Rainbows: Every time I see a rainbow I am reminded that everything will turn out okay.
8. Your Career: Hopefully you work in a job and a career that you’re passionate about, but even if your job isn’t your favorite thing, it still provides you with the income you need to survive.
9. Your Home: No matter where home is for you, there is something special about having a place that is comfortable—that allows you an escape from the rest of the world.
10. Love: Love is what binds all of us together, and at the end of the day, it’s love that gets us through all the challenges we face in life.
