As some of you have started Adriane’s 5 for 5 for 55 challenge, you are doing daily gratitude list as a habit. At the top of the list for most people when initially starting is being alive. Today I put this one down because I truly am grateful for the opportunity to get after it today.

Regardless of whether or not you are doing the 5 for 5 for 55 challenge in this season, I believe that one of the most redemptive habits is starting your day with a true remembrance of the things you are grateful for. Write them down so that you can look at them and contemplate your gifts and blessings before you go about your day. In the words of my 11 year old Malibu, I double dog dare you to try it!

Let’s GO!
