65 Days of Gratitude

Tonight we will have our Autumnal Equinox and for those of you who aren't giant geeks, that is what marks the official beginning of fall. I have always loved fall and not just because of all the yummy fall goodies and pretty fall colors. Really, I think I love it because it is such a special time of year. Everything draws to a close and we get to look back and see where we've come to. It's a time for warmth, for fun, a magical time for kids, and it always makes me feel thankful.

How many times a day do you stop and say thanks for something in your life? If you're like me; busy, overworked, tired, and well, just living a normal life; you probably don't do it enough. As I was driving and praying today I decided that it would be a good excersice to start my thanksgiving list now. It's 65 days from now until thanksgiving and I plan to write one thing I am truly grateful for everyday from now until then. I know it sounds easy, but I think it's really going to challenge me to appreciate some of the little blessings that get overlooked in the craziness of the everyday.

I invite you to make your own list and share with your friends and family!
