Thankful Each Day This Week

Hey friends, you all know we're celebrating Thanksgiving this week! A chance to connect with family, to stuff our bellies until we're ready to nap, and most of all , be reminded of the blessings we have in our lives.

I know in my every day life, I don't spend anywhere near the amount of time realizing how blessed I am. There's always something staring me in the face that seems to take precedence over a more thankful attitude. Sometimes it's a load of laundry, sometimes a sniffle, sometimes a pile of dishes (and bottles now with the little one) to do.

So my goal this week is to open my heart more and remind myself that those blessings come in handfuls. I'm getting out a note card and writing on it:

What Are You Thankful For Today?

I think I'll put it on the mirror on my bathroom or somewhere I'll see it throughout the day.

Life is too short to forget all the good things, and those good things are too precious not to recognize.

Join me if you want, and put out your note card. You can even write what you're thankful for each day on the back.

So, what are you thankful for today?

Today, I'm thankful for my family. Simple, I know but without them there would be so much less joy in my life.

Oh, and don't forget to come back on Friday for your last chance to enter my monthly giveaway. There's chocolate in there - and that's definitely something to be thankful for.
