Day 126 of my 365 Days of Thankfulness

Another month in 2022 is in my rearview mirror on my road to express thankfulness. This adventure sometimes becomes a challenging task, but I’m discovering so many things to be thankful for each day. Focusing on the positive despite all the tragedy in the world makes me happy. It motivates me to work toward a positive change and being grateful drives away fear. I can see so many potholes in the road, but I start my day searching for the blessings in my life. These events or things might seem small and insignificant, but they add up to a giant pile of happiness at the end of the road. I am inviting you to come along for the ride. Why don’t we all travel the road of gratefulness in May? This post covers day 126 of my 365 days of thankfulness.  

Day 126 of my 365 Days of Thankfulness

On day 126 of my 365 days of thankfulness, I am grateful I was in the right place at the right time to watch the squirrel show. The little guy found a treat he considered more precious than gold. He scurried around until he found the perfect place to bury his treasure. He dug carefully in the soft dirt before placing the thing he carried inside his mouth. Then he covered it up before he went about his squirrel business. I enjoyed watching how professional he went about securing his treasure. The show reminded me how important it is to prepare for unforeseen events. It pays to be prepared in today’s world. Look at what happened with the toilet paper situation during the early days of COVID. I hope my squirrel friend remembers where he buried his treasure.  

This old lady has something to say…

Thanksgiving is a matter of choice. Don’t let anyone tell you differently. Even in dark places, it is good to seek 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. Don’t neglect to see the good things right in front of your face because you hear the world is falling apart. Let me tell you a secret. The world is always falling apart when you focus on the doom and gloom. You won’t always find thankfulness an easy road, but it’s an adventure we can all take together. What are you thankful for today? Leave a comment, and bless my heart. I  am not being sarcastic when I say that. I could use the encouragement as much as the next person.
