This evening, my daughter Jenni and I met at Target in Apex and drove to Trader Joes in Cary to do some shopping for our girls' weekend. So along the way we were chatting and she asked if I had read the latest "Real Simple." We both get magazine and I had sort of skimmed mine, and when she further explained the article, I remembered it. Well it's all about counting your blessings and not forgetting even the small stuff in this hectic world. So 4 readers kept a journal for a month, listing everything they are grateful for. Jenni is planning on listing 3 things every day on her blog. Not a bad idea, when in this day and time, the media is filled with gloom and doom. With the election looming, politics are filled with nastiness, and the stock market has gone to "hell in a hambasket" along with my 403b!
So I thought that it would be fun and a good idea to do this myself. It'll be a good reminder of the things we have to be thankful for. Even though my husband got his layoff notice 2 weeks ago, as a family, we do have so much to be thankful for. So here goes:
I am grateful for:
1) my job with great benefits
2) my parents
3) the cooler weather that makes running more comfortable
...............stayed tuned.
I challenge all of you to do this!
