It’s pretty easy to hear about all the things that are wrong with the state of the world today. Children who are being abused by their parents or stricken with terminal illness. Families struggling to keep a roof over their head when one or both parents have been laid off in this unstable economy. People desperate for food and medicine overseas and here in the US. It goes on and on…
So it would be natural to feel like all is hopeless and that the world is just a dark place, right?
Then I saw a couple people post on Facebook about a Month of Thanks in November. I think that idea is AWESOME! Appreciating the good things can fall to the wayside when all the things that are wrong and need to be “fixed” are knocking at our door.
I propose taking a few minutes from your day this month to think about for what in your life you give thanks. It can be as deep as your family & health or as trivial as the reality TV show that is your guilty pleasure. Let’s just celebrate the things that keep us smiling!!
I’ll go deep to start. I apologize if it gets mushy.
I’m thankful for my husband.
In his professional life, he works so hard and is so good at what he does. At home, he is a partner who is more than willing to get his hands dirty and views nothing as “not his job”. He’s a wonderful father and Brooke and I both absolutely adore him.
It is with great pride that I’ve watched him make really positive changes recently in his personal life. How he manages to get himself to the gym at 6:00am or at 10:00pm, I’ll never know!! But he does and I’m so proud of him for it!
I doubt I’ll blog each day with the things I’m thankful for. To keep up with them or contribute your own, follow me on Facebook or Twitter!
