Or maybe it will be every-other-day gratitude. I can't guarantee my commitment on something like this up front.
Here's the idea I saw on Emily's blog with a minor modification.
Each day during the month of November you blog about 3 "things" for which you are grateful.
Definition of “things”- the term “things” is used here to encompass a myriad of stuff including, but not limited to: a certain set of circumstances, an event, an inanimate object distinguished from a living being, possessions or effects, a deed or act, a product of work or activity, an idea or notion, a piece of news or information, a person, a memory, anything that makes you smile.
The challenge is to come up with three ORIGINAL “things” each day. Try not to repeat entries.
WARNING OF POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS!!
Please note that challenge participation may result in any or all of the following:
- you will be surprised at all the Lord has done for you.
- angels will attend
- you will feel help and comfort
- you may find yourself singing as the days go by
- your doubts will fly
Here’s my list for today:
1. Getting an extra hour of sleep this morning.
2. Even though the kids were up at their normal body time -- they took it upon themselves to entertain Anna in her crib, watch tv shows quietly, and start getting breakfast themselves. {I did have to intervene in at this point}.
3. Little girls in little dresses with little ribbons in their hair.
