I used to belong to this email group about art journaling and they used to do this thing each Thursday that they called "Thankful Thursday". The idea was to think of 13 things that you were thankful for that week. It's not as easy as it sounds. Especially to come up with new things each week. But it never fails to make you look at your life and the reasons that you should be happy.
I'm thankful that....
- My husband is finally getting serious about getting healthier. He's exercising with me more and eating healthier.
- My husband is trying to quit smoking with me.
- That there is only 25 days left until our vacation!
- For my puppies! Because they always make me smile and they are always happy to see me.
- There is a website like Postcrossing.com. It's a lot of fun to get new postcards from all over the world!
- Even though I lost one of my best friends to cancer 8 months ago, that I have some great memories of the two of us to think about when I miss her.
- After watching some of the most heartbreaking stories I've ever seen on shows like Grey's Anatomy, that I chose not to go to nursing school like I had planned when I was in high school. I would never have been able to maintain distance or not show emotion.
- That I've never had to endure some of the horrific tragedies that I know others have.
- My children, husband, parents, sister, niece/nephews and the rest of my family are all healthy.
- For the blue skies today, the warm breeze and the bright, bright sun.
- For colorful flowers that make me smile.
- For pretty butterflies.
- For the fireflies in the summer. They are always fun to watch light up the yard or a field. And I love to see them in the fields as we drive at night, watching them blur as we drive past.
And there is my 13 for this week. I've tried to get in to the habit of doing this before, and inevitably I get busy and forget. It's such a great habit to have though, so I'm going to try again to do this regularly.
What are you thankful for?
