I did make some career goals for 2015, and I do want to increase my fitness so that I can enjoy hiking this summer, but I am not really into the New Year's resolution thing this year. So, in lieu of a New Year's Resolution, I have adopted a theme for the year 2015:
YEAR OF GRATEFULNESS
YEAR OF GRATEFULNESS
In 2015 I am challenging myself - and you - to be grateful.
At first glance this seems like a very simple challenge. After all, everyone reading this no doubt already has a lot to be grateful for. A computer or mobile device and internet access to start (and I can only assume you made sure your basic needs were taken care of first). I am sure most of us already spent the holiday season in appreciation for time with family, gifts received, time off work etc. But I am not challenging us to be grateful on Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am not challenging us to be grateful on the good days. I am challenging us to be grateful not only on the days of family parties, payday, birthdays and happy moments, but on every day in between as well.

I am challenging you to be thankful on the just okay days. And the less than okay days. And the flat out crappy days.
I challenge you, and me, to find at least one thing to be grateful for. Every. single. day.
Throughout the year I will be sharing many of the things I am thankful for. Here on my blog and also on Facebook and other social media, using #yearofgratefulness. Please join me!
