Today I Am Thankful For (day 30)

Day 30

Today I am thankful for the 30 days of Thanksgiving that have helped me to pause and reflect on what I am thankful for.

Any of us at any time if we were asked what we are thankful for can give a standard pat answer.  I am thankful for:  life, family, job, and etc.  But these 30 days of Thanksgiving have helped me to think "outside the box" about some of those things that I am truly thankful for but most of the time we just take for granted or don't even realize they are blessings to be counted.  So today I am thankful for the time that I have had to reflect on those un-ordinary things that I am thankful for.  This was probably best brought to light for me during a conversation with Dumbass.  We have been doing the 30 days during phone conversations.  On the morning that I was thankful that I like myself he commented to me that not everybody can say that.  Which led to a more in depth conversation about it.  The same thing with the being thankful for a sense of humor.  There are many people who don't enjoy that blessing.  So yes today I am thankful for the 30 days of Thanksgiving.  I wish that I could say that it will help me to stop and notice those small things all during the year and not just in November.  One young lady remarked that she is going to try to list in her journal 3 things she is thankful for each day because she had noticed that her attitude was much more positive when she started her day being thankful.  Have an awesomely blessed day.
