Every day that I see Facebook, in addition to seeing everyone's beautiful faces I get to see how thankful they are this month for all the tiny things in their life. Now I love November for this very thing. Instead of negative comments and rude posts I see thankfulness and I love it!
I have desired to jump on the thankfulness train however, I have a touch of the ADD...which basically means I add things to my mind as I look at other things so I never get anything done which is why If I started the thankfulness train there would be no destination I would probably stop at like day 10 then forget what month it is entirely and try to pick up the rest of the days later in the month and its just messy. So to solve my predicament I have decided to create a thankfulness blog!!! YAY
I know I am excited and hopefully you are all too.... if not your totally welcome to stop reading..that could be your thankfulness post for the next day..your thankful you were able to stop reading lol totally kidding. I have been home all week so my "jokes" are a tad worse than usual.
Since there are 30 days in November ( yes I checked my little computer calendar) I will just do 30 things I am thankful for. However for now I am only going to do eleven mainly because I only have time for eleven but I am still technically ahead of the rest of you so no judgment here. Disclaimer I had a really rough week..so some of the things I am thankful for are coming from a place of being seriously thankful because of how hard this week was.
The numerical order represented here has nothing to do with the order of the things I am thankful for instead it's merely represented by the things that came to my mind first.
1. The washer and dryer...with out which I could not have lived through this week of my kids being sick
2. The Dishwasher... with out it I would be seriously exhausted
3. Soap...seriously so thankful for soap
4. Snotty Snuggles..I know this sounds like a gross thing but the snotty snuggles of a one year old don't last long
5. Friends I am truly thankful for friends. Friends who make me laugh and cry and understand. I am so blessed by friends
6. Music...Oh my goodness I am so thankful for music! I am thankful for technology that helps me find new music
7. Medicine.. not that I am not a super believer in the supernatural healing but I am so incredibly thankful for cough medicine and Tylenol and ibuprofen and vicks.
8. TV....I know this one is shallow but when you have 2 sick kids at home all day TV becomes a huge blessing to get their mind off of the headache they have.
9. Easy breakfast....this week I could kiss whoever invented easy breakfast's like instant oatmeal, the toaster, the pop tart.
10. The sun.... I am so thankful for bright and shiny days
11. The mountains... they are always a reminder to me of what Central Oregon has that other places just do not. Not in the same way. Our mountains and landscape is just gorgeous
That is all you get this week. Keep your eyes posted for my next thankfullness blog which will most likely be based off that week as well.
Blessings
