Day 134 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 134 of my 365 days of thankfulness.  

Day 134 of my 365 Days of Thankfulness

On day 134 of my 365 days of happiness, I am grateful for all the fun we had at Holland Tulip Time. The sun shone all day, and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. We had a fantastic time even though we spent hours standing in line. We sat in a traffic jam to get into the artisan show, but the paintings and crafts were worth the trouble. We never made it to Windmill Island because of the crowd, but we saw amazing tulip displays. I also enjoyed spending time with my daughter and her family. We all had a lot of fun, and it proved to be a great adventure. I am grateful for the perfect day.

The old lady opens her mouth..

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.
