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 111 of my 365 days of thankfulness.
Day 111 of my 365 Days of Thankfulness
On day 111 of my 365 days of thankfulness, I am grateful for Freedom’s beautiful wedding. The ceremony went on without a single flaw. She made a very beautiful bride. This ceremony would have happened a year ago, but then COVID made it impossible to gather and celebrate these blessings of life. The bride and groom’s family gathered to witness the couples be joined in matrimony. Everyone had a great time. Rooster and I had to leave early to transport our son to Indianapolis. He’d be flying out early the next morning. I am grateful we can take part in these family rituals again.
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.
