I know this is not my idea, but I like it anyway because it mirrors something that actually was my idea:
All blog posts during the month of November will include some gratitude.
As for my own idea, one I've been doing for the last three years, the week preceding Thanksgiving I pray what I refer to as "thankful prayers." Spend a week only focusing on gratitude and not asking for anything. It changes the entire day, and Thanksgiving is marvelous.
So today: I'm so glad that I genuinely enjoy my classes this semester. If I didn't, life would be miserable. But I really look forward to class each week, and I have such a great time (especially Tuesday/Thursday).

It's ok, I'm doing thankful posts, too. Who cares if everyone else is? It just matters why you are doing it--for you. Love you, Allie.
ReplyDeleteI like this plan. A lot. And I love gratitude prayers. They're wonderful.
