Just Thankful Challenge

It’s November, y’all. I don’t know about you but it seems as if this year has just flown by. In a few weeks, we’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving. WOW!

I have found myself being a little distracted lately with just the busyness of life and was beginning to feel somewhat overwhelmed with all that I am attempting to juggle on a daily basis…parenting, work, supporting family, cooking, cleaning, taking care of me, etc. I felt like I was drowning in it all. I don’t like it when I feel this way—it’s so draining. I generally just want to stay in bed all day. (Well, at this stage of my life, staying in bed all day every day is not an option for me)…so I decided to intentionally shift my focus.

I began to focus on identifying just one thing that I am just thankful for in the midst of the busyness. I must admit it was a little difficult at first but I was intent on identifying that one thing. Finally, I had it. Then I thought of one more thing and then another and then another and it kept flowing. It was just like the flooding of the busyness but this time it was the good stuff and it changed how I felt. I felt a little lighter, not so weighed down; my mind seemed to be clearer. I was smiling mentally.

So because I had such a positive experience, I wanted to challenge you to do the same: intentionally identify one thing for which you are just thankful and post as a comment. Let’s see how many comments are posted. I’ll start..
