Every day you will usually think, I am thankful for this, or I am so glad that I did this for this. Etc, etc, etc. I try to think each day before I go to bed about the great things that have been great to me that day. I am thankful for at least 5 things before I go to bed. It helps me to relax, and go to bed with good thoughts on my brain. I love it.
When you go to bed, do you have a smile on your face? Do you think, I am so lucky I have a bed to sleep in, or I have 4 walls and a roof over my head while I sleep right now. I am so thankful for the little things in life that I can not believe that God has blessed me with. I am so thankful that I have such an amazing life. Is there stress? Of course. I would be lying saying that I live in this perfect lala land.
I hope for Thanksgiving this year, you can start a new tradition, everyone say one thing you are thankful for and every night at dinner continue the tradition for a whole year. Look at how amazing your outlook will turn out to be! I will start, I am very thankful for the amazing life God has given me, and I am thankful for all of you wonderful readers!
