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 130 of my 365 days of thankfulness.
Day 130 of my 365 Days of Thankfulness
On day 130 of my 365 days of thankfulness, I am grateful for the wonderful teachers at my Granddaughter’s school. We pick them up twice a week. These educators always wear a smile on their faces when we pull to the curve. They know who each child belongs to, so they get in the right car to go home. These people had a tough job trying to catch these kids up to grade level this year. Our neck of the woods didn’t argue about staying out of the classroom. They wanted to come back for the kids. One of the teachers is retiring this year. It will be hard to replace her. I am grateful she was a part of my Granddaughter’s life.
This old lady says….
This old lady has learned 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.
