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 307 of my 365 days of thankfulness.
Day 307 of my 365 days of Thankfulness
On day 307 of my 365 days of thankfulness, I am grateful Rooster and I could take an afternoon motorcycle ride. I know I should be writing, but the weather was perfect for a ride in the country. A slight wind blew the leaves from the trees. They landed in golden piles and gave color to the country roads we traveled down. We don’t know how many of these pleasant days we will be blessed with before it turns cold and the snow flies. It is important to seize the day, especially when you don’t know how long the good weather will last. We plan to take advantage of them. My laptop will still be sitting on my desk tomorrow. The guilt of missing an important writing day won’t last. I am grateful for a warm fall day and the motorcycle ride.
This old lady needed a break.
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.
