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 100 of my 365 days of thankfulness.
Day 100 of my 365 Days of Thankfulness
On day 100 of my 365 days of thankfulness, I am grateful the bird put on a symphony every time I walked outside my door. I’m not sure if it was because the sun was shining or if they were trying to attract a mate. The feathered creatures who live in the trees were vocal today. I think they are happy with the mild temperatures minus the winter cold and summer humidity. The different calls they made blended like a nature’s symphony written just for my enjoyment. Today I am grateful for the song of my neighborhood birds.
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.
