I’m still plugging away at my 2022 blogging challenge. Each day I am discovering new ways that my life is blessed. Despite all the tragedy and drama in the world, I am discovering I have so much to be thankful for in my life. The trick is to find those blessings in the mundane. I start my day searching for moments of appreciation in my life. The events or things might seem small and insignificant, but they add up to a giant pile of blessings. I’ve never attempted to express gratitude as the primary subject of my writing. This post covers day ninety-one of my 365 days of thankfulness.
Day Ninety-One of my 365 Days of Thankfulness
On day ninety-one of my 365 days of thankfulness, I am grateful I saw Batman running in the rain. I live in a quirky town with a lot of strange people who do a lot of strange things for no reason. The odd cast of characters supplies this writer with fresh material. A guy occasionally runs through our city wearing a Batman costume. His identity is a mystery. I walked alone in a local park the first time I encountered him. I worried a lunatic or a mugger jogged in my direction. He ran past without paying any attention to me. Today, Rooster and I saw him jogging down the street in the rain. Rooster chuckled, and I tried to snap a picture but my phone didn’t cooperate. Maybe the mysterious Batman makes an appearance to put a smile on people’s faces.
This old lady speaks…
This old lady’s opinion is thanksgiving is a matter of choice. Even in the darkness, we can choose to seek the light. My blessings may not be the same as yours because I’m old. I bet if you dig deep, you can come up with something to be thankful for today. Part of the problem with modern life is we neglect to see the small things that make up our common human experience. Thankfulness is an adventure we can all enjoy together. Would you please leave a comment and share with me some of the things you are thankful for today.
