Since its November & so many are expressing their gratitude for the blessing in their lives, and yet still often asking me, Why are you so friggin (their word, not mine) thankful? I offer the follow . . . ✮ ✯ ✰ ★ ✱ ✲ ✳ A Thankful Endeavor ✮ ✯ ✰ ★ ✱ ✲ ✳ ~Practicing~ Meg: You know, three years ago I never saw anyone do a conversation status on Facebook. The one about daddy getting you marmoset for your anniversary was the first one I ever remember reading. Now I see them all the time. Me: Maybe I helped start a trend. I might be hip! Who knew, right?? Meg: The fact you just called yourself hip, means youre really, really, REALLY not. Me: Youre mean. Really, really, REALLY mean. Meg: Im honest. Speaking of statuses, what made you start the whole Today Im thankful for posts? Me: Well, you know how some people are pretty good at tons of different things? Stuff just seems to come naturally to them. Thats not me. Im really good at 2 or 3 things . . . clueless about everything else. If I want to learn something new, it takes me a lot of practice. Sadly, one of the things that I am exceptionally exquisite at is thinking of things to complain about. No practice needed. Its not a talent anyone wants. Its actually kind of pathetic & pretty darn selfish. I wanted to overcome that. I always have. I still do. I want to be thankful for all the good in my life, but it doesnt come naturally to me. I knew I would need to practice. So, I started small. I decided to be thankful for just one thing each day. For one moment, every single day, I remind myself of the positive in my life. For at least those few minutes, I focus on how very blessed I am. Generally, its enough to ward off any pity parties that might arise. Putting on Facebook just made me feel more accountable. I need that, because it still doesnt come easily to me. Meg: So...youre practicing? Me: Im practicing. ♦Today I am thankful to be thankful. . . . and maybe one day, hip!♦ ╔══════════════ ೋღღೋ ══════════════╗ ♦ Today I am very thankful for the blessings in my life. ♦ ╚══════════════ ೋღღೋ ══════════════╝
