I have been pondering this post for quite some time not wanting to write it for fear that it would be an inadequate reflection of my appreciation for all that I have. After contemplating it more, I realized how silly that is. I shouldn't need to prove my thankfulness through words. In fact, if I have to do so, I am clearly not thankful for it because others should know, through my actions not my words, what is important to me.
What I really want/need to do more of, is taking time to see how blessed I am. Everyday there are little reminders of how lucky I am to have what I have. I think its important to remember them daily instead of once a year because it is Thanksgiving.
So going along with this post, I have decided that at least once I a week I will write a post listing things that I am currently thankful for. I hope this will help me remember to appreciate the small things in life and also be a reminder that no matter what, I have so much to be thankful for. I also hope that this will inspire me to show my thankfulness to those that I think of each week. It is easy for their deeds to go unnoticed and unthanked but if I take the time to consciously think about all those who make my life so great, hopefully I will make the effort to let them know how much it matters to me.
