I live EVERY day with gratitude…..so the month of November is no different. However, it is a great chance to keep track for one month as I did last year HERE. I am not shy to tell those around me that I am thankful for them, post on Facebook and shout out my gratitude! I never want to leave this earth with those around me ever questioning that.
So with that I ring in November 2012 with thanks every day!
Every day I will add a new item and share it. I hope you will join me!
Nov 1st – Thank you for no nonsense friends who kick me in the rear when I need it, laugh with me (my favorite thing to do) walk with me and toast with me when the need arises. Amen ♥
Nov 2nd – thankful for tears……the ones that come streaming out from laughter with good friends. The best kind!
Nov 3rd – Thankful for walking…walking for fun with a best friend in a most colorful fun way (The Color Run) and thankful to walk (Walk for Life) with a purpose in memory of a best friend who gave me the utmost appreciation for life early on. May we never take that for granted. ♥
Nov 4th – Thanks for a Sunday that was in paradise, San Diego. A place this midewest girl never takes for granted. It was capped off with a beautiful sunset.
Nov 5th – Thankful that part of my job is to use my creative side to Live Life in Full Color every day! (and to remember in the grey times that colors are on the other side….). From photography to painting I feel grateful! Embracing and sharing the artisitic side of me has opened a whole new world.
Nov 6th – The ability to exercise my right to vote…I did! It was not long ago (1920) women did not have the right to vote and I for one do not take that for granted.
Nov 7th – Thankful for all those car rides with the kids to/from sports, school, etc. I get a front row seat to see the lives they are leading, the things that affect them and all they are taking part in. Between conversations they have with me, their carpool friends and between themselves I get a snippet into their lives. As a mom that is a gift I will treasure in spite of the cost of gas, the hassle and the constant juggling. For that I am thankful today. (and to my village for those extra legs in the carpool schedule ♥)
