Thirty days of thanks is something that seems to be the theme on Facebook during the month of November..although I feel we should give Thanks everyday. I am guilty of stating what I am thankful for each day on my status so that others can read what makes me happy, and what my soul believes I am grateful for. Some days I question that thanks though..I have to be honest! I woke up today having a hard time being thankful..because when something happens in your life that brings sadness, question, uncertainty, and the unknown..we sometimes find it hard to be grateful and thankful for the blessings we have at that very moment. My heart is broken for someone I deeply love and care for..and I am trying to take my own personal feelings, and oopinions out of the situation so that I can be thankful for the abundant blessings I have been given, as well as this person…but today I am having a hard time. Each day..I am thankful for so many little things in my life…like being able to see the sun rise, hear the birds chirp, watch my kids laugh with one another, wrap my arms around my wonderful husband, hear the sweet voices of my family and friends, and SO many other little things that touch my heart each and every second of this life I live…so today even though I am sad..I am going to be thankful for the tears I am able to shed today as I struggle to be thankful…
