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 tragedies in the world makes me happy. It motivates me to work toward positive change. 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 255 of my 365 days of thankfulness.
Day 255 of my 365 Days of Thankfulness
On day 255 of my 365 days of thankfulness, I am grateful for an evening motorcycle ride. Dark storm clouds hovered in the sky all morning and afternoon. There are only so many riding days in the season. The storm didn’t last long once it finally arrived. Blue skies replaced the black and grey rain-filled clouds, so we pulled the bike out and took an evening ride through the Indiana countryside. The cold weather will be here soon. Rooster and I want to do some riding before the snow starts to fly. I am grateful for our evening ride.
This old lady is grateful for an evening ride.
I have 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.

The world definitely does fall apart when you concentrate on the gloom of it all. No matter how good some things may be there will always be gloom. Life is too precious to make that the focal point. Great post Molly!
Thank you.
