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 120 of my 365 days of thankfulness.
Day 120 of my 365 Days of Thankfulness
On day 120 of my 365 days of thankfulness, I am grateful for a sunny day spent at a local park. The temperatures soared to nearly ninety degrees, and the sky overhead was the perfect shade of blue. I enjoyed a perfect day watching the grandkids enjoy the playground. They closed the women’s restroom a year ago, making it the one drawback to the experience. I am certain he city knows a good plumber or two. The issue needs fixed. The bathroom has been out of order for two years. Still, I am thankful for this park. I remember playing here when I was a kid.
The old lady opens her mouth…
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.

what a wonderful day, bathroom be damned –
thank you.
I hope they fix the restroom, too. That’s important.
