Gratitude Challenge, Day 3: (This is still all your fault, Anastasia Beaverhausen!) 1. I am thankful for Janice Nierstheimer Bettis. She is the kind of dear friend with whom I can discuss anything, who will adventure wherever (as long as we can absolutely, positively be back within four hours...without running over the UPS man). She would do anything for me...without ever asking anything in return. To me, she is a living example of grace in action & thats just one more reason to love her. 2. I am ever grateful for technology. I love having instant access to information about anything. Why, yes, George Washington WAS born in 1732...and it IS possible to hull a strawberry with a drinking straw. Dinner recipes for 64 guests in half an hour? Im sure I could find that info somewhere on the information superhighway... And have fun at the same time. 3. I am thankful for simple things like a cozy blanket, a cool breeze, and a balled up piece of trash actually making it into the waste can on the first toss. Im grateful for crazy bugs and shooting stars and the smell of freshly cut grass. Im grateful just for the chance to be grateful, every day, about everything that goes on in life, the good and the bad. How would I ever experience the chance to learn from my mistakes if I never made them? For me, being thankful cant be boiled down into three bullet points over the course of three days. It cant even be boiled down to a few bullet points each day for a few millennia. Gratitude is simply a way of life... And it is the way I choose to live my life, thankful for every precious moment I am given on this earth. That being said, I wonder whether Jennifer Hautle, Cheri Roberts, & Shelley Hikes would be willing to take the Gratitude Challenge and share three items for which they are grateful, each day, for three days. At the conclusion of those three days, they can each nominate three other people to participate in the challenge. Enjoy!
