The rules are pretty simple. One word. Five minutes of writing. No editing.
Grateful.
How in a handful of words can I describe what I am grateful for. I really don't think I can. I dabbled for a few extra days even to try and make some words come to me that sounded beautiful. The thing is the things that I am grateful for... they don't need any enhancing words. They already are beautifully amazingly outstanding.
My Heavenly Father.
My Husband.
My children.
My furry babies.
My family.
My friends.
My past.
My present.
My future.
I am grateful for oh so very very much. I take the challenge every year to post what I am grateful for in the month of November. Sometimes it can be so easy to see the things that I am grateful for. Other times I have to REALLY REALLY think and ponder what there is to be grateful for. I'm not perfect. Nor will I ever be and I'm okay with that. Finding something to be grateful about is a challenge sometimes and that just sounds like my whiny children but it's true. In those moments though some of the most perfect things will come to mind. Even if they are an everyday thing. Being grateful sometimes is that you made it through the day without pulling all of your hair out. THAT is a day that most all of us can relate to. The fact that I can't always find something to be grateful about sometimes makes the search so unbearable though. So friends, don't get down on the search. Be in that moment. Know that you have had a rough day and give yourself some slack. Know that when you do fine your grateful... it'll be just perfect for you.
