I'm going to steal an idea from my friend Meghan. Everyday she posts a list of things that she is thankful for. What a great way to put your heart into a thankful mindset. So often we focus on all the negatives we deal with on a day to day basis, we forget to just give thanks for the little things. When I'm putting the girls to bed and we're doing our night time prayer I'm always sure to thank God for basic things that we don't necessarily think about. A good example is I always say thanks for our beautiful home and the roof over our heads. Hopefully this will make the girls aware of just how blessed we are.
So I'll make my daily list as well and I'll make it based on that particular days events. I'll stick to at least three per day...
Thankful for 7.9.11:
- My mother. Today is her 59th birthday. We've had our differences in the past (and still do), but I love her and all she has done for us. Some may say she has a funny way of showing love, but she shows it.
- Ava's smile first thing in the morning. She's four and a half years old and every morning she comes in wide eyed and smiling. Doesn't get old.
- Lazy Saturdays. Had zero plans for today. At the beginning of the day it seemed like it would drag, but it went by fairly quickly and the girls were great. Can't ask for much more.
- Meghan's idea & posts. Here's to giving thanks.
