Giving Thanks.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am sorry I haven't been keeping up with the posts this week.

We have been busy.

But I thought it would be nice to take a day away from the go-go-go mentality and dedicate a post to giving thanks.

Not too long ago a friend of mine told me about a book she has been reading.

{I'm not sure which book it is, but this one seems to be along the same lines as the one she was telling me about.}

The book is about a woman making a list of 1,000 things she is thankful for.

One Thousand.

That may not sound like a lot, but it really is.

She told me that she started her own "Thankful List" and she encouraged me to try to make on of my own.

So I did.

I got a new journal, and now have a journal dedicated to writing down only things I am thankful for.

What I am noticing is, when I consciously think about the parts of my life I am thankful for, my day automatically seems a little bit better.

There really is something to be said for positive thinking.

I encourage you all to make a list of things you are thankful for. Try for 1,000. Or maybe only 100. Either way, think about it, write it down, be thankful.

Here are a few examples of the things I have been writing down...

1. My fiance. 

2. Family. 

3. The opportunity to plan my wedding!

4. The privilege to get a higher education at a school as awesome as Liberty!

5. Movie nights with the roomies.

6. Coffee, coffee, coffee.

7. Holidays!

8. Naming a new car. 

9. Black Friday.

10. Christmas vacation!

That is just a few of the things on my list.

It is really amazing the things you realize you are thankful for when you think about it.

Happy Thanksgiving loves.

Question: What is on your top 10 for thankfulness?

Let the holidays begin!
