“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.” – G.K. Chesterton. Today’s question was suggested by Daily Q&A regular reader, Stephanie Corker Irwin. We’re, well, grateful for the reminder to give thanks, especially on the weekend of Canadian Thanksgiving!
Carrie says: My husband. Billie. The forest. Food from the earth. Being a twin. Canada. Style Statement. Daily Q&A. Although there is anxiety about the economy I am grateful for what we can learn and the opportunity to shift our lives from excess to thoughtfulness.
Danielle says: The rain. Leftovers in the fridge. My consciousness. Serena Ryder singing the blues. My complicated situation that heralds greater freedom. My kid’s big questions. Loyalty. Disloyalty. Technology. My girl friends. The new DVD that just arrived. Readers. Writers. Eyesight. Keiko, our lovely, gets-it-done content manager. The Rumi poem that Josh sent. Life - all of it, almost all of the time.
Stephanie says:
1. My powerful thighs – they are big enough to keep me humble, but strong enough to give me the confidence to train for Ironman!
2. My amazing husband. He’s calm when the waters are rough, patient when I want to move faster and is able to solve all my world-problems with a simple kiss.
3. My running shoes – I am guaranteed to feel better & look better when they are done taking me on a run.
4. My new Style Statement book – it has just arrived and I feel a new, authentic career poppin’ out of the cover!
5. My inspirational bro who is absolutely committed to being the change in this world.
6. My Starbucks Journal – it holds all important dates and houses the crazy ideas I come up with at the oddest times.
7. My truly wonderful group of girlfriends – mothers, entrepreneurs, healers, boardroom mavens, athletes – all women of passion!
8. Yoga Class. Namaste.
9. Blogs, galore! I find heaps of joy in writing on my own blog and love the inspiration I get from others. No rules, totally authentic!
10. My determination to be passionate – I am simply too stubborn to sit on the side of the road and not live a fabulous life.
