I’m sure that you’ve heard the saying that people can either see their glass half empty or they see it half full. Well, today I have a bucket that is overflowing. I have been inspired by my friends and family these last few days to be thankful. Thankful for things that I normally take for granted. Some of these things are small and some are very big, but so inspired I have been by these people and their gratitude that I have had to take a step back and look at my life and be thankful.
Here are some of the things that I am thankful for:
I am thankful on these cold winter mornings for a garage to park my car in. I know how wonderful it is to park my car in the garage because my garage door has been broken for a week and so I have parked out in the cold. I am also so thankful to the men who are fixing it and that I have the financial means to pay them for their efforts.
I am thankful for a sunny day.
I am thankful for growing children that are challenging me every day to be the best I can be. I am grateful for the teaching moments that I learn from as much or more from than they do. I am blest to have the opportunity to raise them.
I am thankful for hand sanitizer.
I am thankful for a husband that is supportive of my goals and dreams and helps me reach them.
I am thankful for my good health and the fabulous example of a special friend that is going chemo therapy at this time. Her good nature and sense of humor never cease to amaze me!
I am thankful for my job that to me is more than a job, it is a place where I love to be, doing what I love and where the people treat each other with kindness and respect.
I am thankful for a cuddly, warm bed to sleep in.
I am thankful for my sister and niece that continually spur me on to be creative and productive. They are the best friends.
I am thankful for the beauty of nature all around me and for the opportunity to experience the different seasons
Have a Full Bucket this Thanksgiving Season
My bucket is full and overflowing as you can see. I could write 20 pages today about my blessings.
I wish I had a recording of today’s optimistic feelings so when I have other types of days I could look at my thankful bucket and remember my blessings.
I would like to share with you another way that I express my thankful heart that can help preserve these thankful feelings. I enjoy taking pictures of the blessings that I have and putting them in a scrapbook.
Then I include some journaling on the pages about why I am so blest. This is such a fun way of recording my gratitude. It is enjoyable, inexpensive, and allows me to be creative, and remember my blessings too.
Have a very happy Thanksgiving!
Denise
