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 June? This post covers day 154 of my 365 days of thankfulness.
Day 154 of my 365 Days of Thankfulness
On day 154 of my 365 days of thankfulness, I am grateful to spend a quiet evening with my daughter and her family. They fed Rooster and me a great meal. Then we sat in the front yard and waited for the sun to vanish from the sky. The evening is one of those perfect times when a person can leave all cares of the world behind and slip into perfect peace. We watched our great-granddaughter experience the joy of playing outside. She learned how to crawl with one leg in the air so the grass wouldn’t prickle her knee. I am grateful for a perfect evening.
This old lady had fun.
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 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. 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.

Thank you.
Well shared! Thank you .🙂👍
My sister used to crawl around in the grass on her hands and feet, instead of her hands and knees. My mom always said it was so she wouldn’t mess up her knees…
Love the evening hours and the morning hours too. Each have their place.
Thank you.
Wow, a quiet evening with the family. That credit-card commercial would say priceless. I say truly precious.
It was fun. Thank you for reading.
Inner peace, contentment, the love of family and friends, the beauty of nature… so many things to be thankful for. We just have to take a moment to appreciate them 🙏
