On this beautiful first day of spring, I am reminded of many things that I am grateful for.The economy is still troublesome. We have been affected by it in many ways, but it certainly has helped me focus on what is good around me and I remain optimistic and hopeful about the future.
I welcome the change. Change is very good and change is coming. I think you have to get on board and embrace change or you will be left far behind. So in addition to change, following is a list of more things I am grateful for.
My top 30 things I am grateful for list:
- PTA bingo night with family - good cheap fun
- a supportive husband who gives flowers just because
- beautiful, healthy children
- my parents who are always there
- my older son who has the babysitter call me to see if he can watch a movie since he is grounded
- a smart brother who supports my websites for very little or no money
- a creative friend who is an amazing designer and developed The Mom Entrepreneur brand for barter
- my supportive friends in The Mom Entrepreneur Online Support Group
- readers of my blogs
- coupons - I just rediscovered these; great savings
- interviewers who are prepared
- creative websites that offer solutions
- a lenient landlord who waived a late fee on office rent - clients pay late, rent is late
- mint Oreo cookies - taste really good crumbled on chocolate pudding

- caller ID - yes, I know the medical bill payment is late, stop calling me!
- Craig's List - great for selling office furniture you no longer need
- cats that sleep all day instead of chasing your cursor on the screen while you are trying to work
- publicists who know what The Mom Entrepreneur is about when they pitch me - you know who you are:)
