Day 104 of my 365 Days of Thankfulness

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 104 of my 365 days of thankfulness.  

Day 104 of my 365 days of thankfulness

On day 104 of my 365 days of thankfulness, I am grateful for random encounters with old friends. I got home late from Writer’s Group last night. Rooster and I decided to go out to eat. We spotted a lady we used to work with sitting at a table across from us in the restaurant. We went to join her and her husband. The encounter turned into a wonderful evening spent with friends we hadn’t seen in a while. It seems she and I both have nightmares about where we used to work. I guess there are some things you never get over. I am grateful for the evening we spent together.

This old lady has something to say…

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.
