P365 - 2013 - Day 305 - Be Thankful
It's November and this year I have started a "Be Thankful pitcher". We all need a reminder sometimes to be thankful. Too often, we go through life waiting for something, wishing for things, and not seeing the good that is right in front of our noses. We are all guilty of this - I try to remember to be thankful all year and set a good example for my children but we can all be better..more aware..more in the moment...more appreciative...happier..more content. There is always room to be thankful. In years past we have written thankful notes on a poster on the refrigerator, the chalkboard in the playroom, and this very blog. Sometimes it's the big things we are thankful for, sometimes the little things, but every November it serves as a reminder that we are blessed and for that we should be grateful. The directions are - 1. Be thankful as often as possible. 2. Take a slip of paper and write what you are thankful for. 3. Fold paper and put in the pitcher. We will be reading these thankful notes at Thanksgiving dinner. I can't wait to see this pitcher fill up with notes of thanks and I look forward to us all reading them on Thanksgiving.
*The unthankful heart discovers no mercies, but the thankful heart will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings. - Henry Ward Beecher*
