Day After Thanksgiving Thankful List
Who says being super thankful has to begin and end on Thanksgiving?
I decided to make a day after Thanksgiving thankful list to try to keep the spirit alive! It was a lot of fun, I love making thankful lists and being reminded of everything great I have in my life.I really treasure my thankful lists they are a great way to visually remind myself how good my life is and how lucky I am.
I decided...
Thanksgiving!

Remember to give thanks for all the great things in your life!

Appreciate Others.
Not the most unique title (my brain is on off for Thanksgiving break!) but it’s true.
On a list of ways to show others you are thankful for them, random acts of appreciation is paramount. It is so vital to show others that we care about them and what they have done for us, without appreciating others how would they ever know?

I think it’s okay for people to come into and go out of our lives, I think it is natural. We just have to be thankful for and appreciate the time we had with them and try to draw upon what we learned while we were connected to them.
I have been thinking about this for awhile. It started with me looking at pictures from high school. People I considered to be friends now, I don’t even...

Recently, I have had some doors close on me that I really thought I wanted, things I thought would make my life more meaningful and purposeful. When these doors were shut, I was disappointed I felt like I had done something wrong to garner this and was definitely feeling a little bit of the...

Sometimes it is so easy for us to put up walls, our own past hurts and “baggage” enable us to not let others in and push people away. However, if we really want to grow and move past all the hurt that has happened in our...

Make your own Joy
Sometimes it is so easy to get bogged down with things we perceive people do us or things that happen to us. It is so easy to let these things pile up and get in the way, clouding our judgement and preventing us from seeing all that we have in life to be grateful for.
I bring this up because I was on the phone with my Grandmother today who was telling me about a girl she knew who was unhappy. My...
Thankful Mondays!
Don’t let a “case of the Monday’s” get you down. Make a list of all the things you have to be thankful for and look forward to during the week. It really does make things go by a lot faster! There is so much to be thankful for if we choose to acknowledge it!
cheers!
