Its November, and that means fall, beautiful colors on the trees, and Thanks Giving. "The man who has nothing to be grateful for is a man who has fallen asleep in life." Jeffry R. Holland. Life is so busy, life is so full of changes, falling asleep during life would be so awful to me. I feel like all the good, all the joy, all the beauty in life would be gone. Hope would no longer work. So here's to being AWAKE during our life journey! Here's to BEAUTY! Here's to JOY! Here's to HOPE! We're starting a Month Long Gratitude Challenge to everyone. Come join us one a day commenting with something you were grateful for that day. Or write it in your journal or diary, for some may be very personal.
- I am thankful for the trees that turn color in the fall. After living in Utah for 3 years, where there are very few trees, and they don't really turn color in the fall, this is something I will never take for granted again.
- I am thankful for family, who no matter who I am, what I am, what I do are there for me. I am grateful for their love, support, understanding, and willingness to forgive easily.
- I am grateful for friends who have loved me, supported me, and stuck with me through my mistakes, through my growing up, through my learning experiences.
- I am thankful for my talents, for without them my life would not be busy, my life would not be fun, my life would not be beautiful.
It's pretty cool that you're doing this on your blog. I've seen a lot of people doing this on their Facebook page as of late.
ReplyDeleteI looove the color of leaves in the fall! I never saw it until my first trip to the US in the fall. So gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great and beautiful post! Thanks for sharing. I am thankful for my kiddos :)
ReplyDeleteI have never seen the leaves change and would love to have that experience. I am grateful that I have everything I need to survive, there were points where I did not so it is something I do not take for granted.
ReplyDeleteIt is so easy to not count our blessings daily. We make it a point to say grace before each meal and to remember the people, activities, and items that we are blessed with. Up in North GA, watching the leaves change is a major activity!
ReplyDeleteI think gratitude is so important. It is really what matters in life is to be thankful for what we have. I am grateful that my husband just got home from a deployment.

Today I am not quite sure what I am grateful for. It has been a long week and well, nothing is standing out other than the obvious - my kids.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great reminder to so many! Today I am thankful for my steady full time job and my blog being fairly successful!
ReplyDeleteBeing thankful is always a good thing no matter what, but this is probably one of the reasons Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, not just the food, but the thankfulness that is on everyone's mind. It seems like some people are just more pleasant this time of year.
ReplyDeleteWe just relocated in a cross country move. It was a leap of faith sort of decision. Now, each day I walk out our front door I smile and feel true gratitude that I am where I am. It's a beautiful feeling.

ReplyDeleteI am grateful for my family, for my health, for the love of my life :)

Happy Thanksgiving in advance
ReplyDeleteI love when the trees turn their colors too!
ReplyDeleteI really look forward to reading my friends Facebook status updates with all the reason they are Thankful. I think I will have my kids do this next year.
