i have so many things to be thankful for. really, i feel like i've gotten more than my fair share. most days i remember this, but every now and then i get all self absorbed and forget to be grateful. so every month i write in my 'good things book' and remind myself of all the good things i've been blessed with.
in honor of thanksgiving i am declaring this month to be 'thanksvember' and i'm going to pick one thing to be thankful for each day. this might even be a new tradition. so this month, in november of 2011, i am thankful for...
day 1: the kind lady at the car place who not only pointed out the dings on my windshield, but offered to contact my insurance and get them fixed for free
day 2: a drizzly, rainy day
day 3: new friends
day 4: not needing a full time job, but always having enough work
day 5: that feeling of total relaxation just after a hot bath
day 6: the unique and creative celebration of all saints day at church
day 7: my zumba instructor...because the good ones are hard to find!
"...every legitimate pleasure in the world becomes a blood-bought
evidence of Christ's love, and an occasion of boasting in the cross."
