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 168 of my 365 days of thankfulness.
Day 168 of my 365 Days of Thankfulness
On day 168 of my 365 days of thankfulness, I am grateful my hair has stopped falling out of my head. When a person has COVID, their hair can shed due to the high fever. My daughter and I both had the problem. I had mine cut. While I was at the hairdresser, she said I was the second person who had the problem she’d seen that day. It’s been about six months, and I no longer leave a trail f white hair everywhere I go. I worried I’d end up bald by the time it stopped falling out. I am grateful I still have my hair. I know it is vain, but I worried I would go bald.
This old lady is happy she still has hair.
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 before your face because you hear the world is falling apart. Let me tell you a secret. The world always falls 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.
