I have jumped on the Facebook bandwagon of stating one thing each day throughout the month of November for which I am thankful.
After reading One Thousand Gifts and contemplating what I am thankful for, I realized that I am guilty of really focusing on thankfulness during this time of year. Sure, I am thankful for things and express thanks to people at other times of the year. But to really think deeply about what I am thankful for each day? Nope. I take way too much for granted.
That is a pretty sobering thought. I cringe even writing those words. After this realization, I am challenging myself to make a list over the next year of things I am truly thankful for. My goal is to have at least one thing per day. However, I do not want this to become a thing I HAVE to do. Rather, I want it to be something that I do as a remembrance of all that I am blessed with.
If you want to join me in this challenge, I would love to have you along for the ride. I will be posting about my journey at www.yearlythanksgiving.blogspot.com.
