Let me count the ways...

and things that I am thankful for. If you are like most people you can let days go by without thinking about all you have in your life and being thankful for it. You can also go days, months, years and a lifetime not being thankful for the things you don't have anymore, lost or those unanswered prayers. We can let the day's troubles or storms cover I eyes from all those things we do have in our lives that are a blessing. Being thankful for even the smallest things in life can open your eyes to the bigger things we take for granted.

My challenge to you is to grab a notebook and write down 5 things daily that you are thankful for. Just write the first 5 things that come to your mind. Don't give it much thought it can be anything not matter how big or small. Some days this will be so easy to do and others it won't but do it anyway. Try it for a month and let me know if you see things differently or if you feel any happier about your circumstances. Of course if you feel like doing more than 5 you can, but you don't have to.

Sample

I am thankful for my health today.

I am thankful for my cat.

I am thankful for my amazing family.

I am thankful for friendships.

I am thankful for the invention of pizza.

My hope is that even in those very down times you can see the silver lining. I pray you will always find something to be thankful for.

Hope your day is full of unladylike, fattening and fun things!
