Day Eight

Today I'm thankful for a long warm fall...as predicted, tomorrow will be cold, wet and dark. I'm grateful we've had a long warm fall and not an early winter. With crunchy leaves, long warm afternoons and good snuggly mornings. You have to enjoy the small things in life sometimes! :)

Day Seven

Today I'm thankful that I live in a country where I am allowed to voice my opinion and share my views. To vote without the fear of being murdered or my vote not counting because I am a women, not a land owner, or any of the other reasons that do prevent other countries from allowing women to vote. In other news, I'm also thankful this election has passed because now we can remove all the negative political ads from the TV. It's hard to teach my daugther to be positive, to see the good in people and to only say nice things about people when she is bombarded with negative campaign ads slandering the other canidate.

Day Six

Ok, I missed 4 and 5, but here is day 6. Today I'm thankful for a job. It may not always be great and some days I wish I could stay home, but I'm grateful to have a job with some flexibility and that I learn something new everyday.

Day Three

Today I'm grateful for my best friend Jenna. I can talk to her all day and still never run out of things to talk to her about. Even though she's across the country, it's a weird day if I don't talk to her. Libbi: she says shes grateful for animals

A Month Of Gratitude: Day Two

Today I'm grateful that it's Friday....for no particular reason except that I love weekends.  :)

Libbi: She's grateful for Grandma and Grandpa...me too, but it's for different reasons.

A Month Of Gratitude: Day One

Today I'm grateful for amazing grandparents who have shown me how to love, how to care, how to smile, how to care for a family and how to stop and enjoy the quiet moments and small joys in life.

Libbi: She says she's grateful for the iPad at Grandma's...I guess it's the little things in life.

A Month Of Gratitude

I'm going to try to post something each of us are grateful for each day this month.  I feel like as of late we have really just been going through the motions of life, loving the good parts but not really living.  As I was leaving work today, I followed an older gentleman who was walking very slowly with a cane.  As I watched the rest of the world hustle and bustle around him, I was reminded of my grandparents and how much I love them and how much we have to learn from them.  I thought it ironic as I stood waiting for the elevator in the parking garage, that this gentleman caught up with all the people who had passed him in a rush.  He held the door open for each 'young' lady and politely smiled and wished us all a pleasant evening as we got off the elevator.  It's things like this the world needs more of.  I want to be able to look back and see the little things I'm thankful for.  Enjoy the posts.  :)
