Things To Be Thankful For #1: Things To Be Thankful For (This will make sense soon)!

Today I am thankful that there is always something to be thankful for! 

Our world is full of so much beauty but many days we forget to enjoy it.  Life gets away with us and we find ourselves busy with our work, our families, and our to do lists. It's easy to miss sunshine beaming through the trees, or that stranger that lets you cut in front of them for your morning coffee when you are late for work, or a happy puppy on the street... but shouldn't we take a second and enjoy these moments?

Last week, my sweet cousin commented on one of my Instagram photos saying "You are always so happy!"  I responded by thanking her, but reminding her that I don't always wake up happy.  In fact there are many days that I feel discouraged or frustrated.  However, it's the small moments in life that remind me of hope, that remind me of joy, that remind me of love, that make life worth it, and I want to share those moments with you.  Whispers of hope, joy, and love surround us, and when we recognize them, they fill our hearts with bliss! 


Today I want to challenge you to find something beautiful in the day, and to be thankful for it.  Be thankful for your friends, family, and coworkers, be thankful for that Starbucks coffee, be thankful for that beautiful sunset! Whatever it is, just be thankful! 


Each day is a gift, go open yours!
