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 173 of my 365 days of thankfulness.
Day 173 of my 365 Days of Thankfulness
On day 173 of my 365 days of thankfulness, I am grateful to spot a gas station up the road. It’s always a welcome sight when you are on a road trip. I won’t lie because I needed to use the bathroom facilities in the worst way. Rooster became overjoyed at the sighting as well. He knows the situation becomes a minor emergency when I say I have to go. We made it to the service station just in time. Rooster wasn’t happy about the price of gas. He complained about it for the next twenty miles. I am grateful for the oasis of petrol we discovered in the middle of the miles of corn.
This old lady had to go.
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.

Woke up sick this morning. 🤧 But today I am thankful for the wonderful holiday we just had, with the most amazing scenery. I am so grateful for my hubby, my dogs, all the wonderful people in my life. Even for the wind which is blowing at almost galeforce outside. Life is a blessing.
Sending some Love and Light your way.
Thank you. Those are wonderful things to be thankful for.
