In November we celebrate Thanksgiving. Someone, quite unknown to me, came up with the idea of celebrating our thankfulness all month long with '30 Days of Thankfulness' on our blogs and facebook posts. It is an admirable idea and one which I shall attempt to participate in. That being said, you will also notice that I a starting my '30 Days of Thankfulness' on day 2. It's how I do things. :) So I will post two days worth today and try to keep on track.
I am thankful to be a part of a wonderful family. I have three older sisters, all of whom are wonderful, smart, funny, and above all dedicated Christian women. I am blessed to be their 'baby' sister. I have learned much from growing up with them. I also am blessed with the most wonderful parents ever. They are in their 80's and still going strong. Maybe not a strong as in the past, but strong nonetheless. They raised us right. I am not sure how they did it. But they did. I am so blessed to be part of the Cartwright family.
As I sit her typing and look out my front window I see snow falling. Well, it is more horizontal snow than vertical. That is what we get here in Western Kansas, where the wind is a constant. It is cold. Today I am ever so thankful for a warm house that shelters me from the cold. I am thankful for warm clothes to wear and for socks to keep my feet warm. (I really, really do NOT like cold feet!)
There are so much that I am thankful for. I am not sure that 30 days is enough, but it is a start to remembering to always be thankful. Even in the tough times.
God bless.
Considering your weather, I'll be grateful for a damp, dreary day here in west Michigan.
