And I have reached these conclusions.
To do this right, I have to slow down.
To do this right, I have to keep my list close by.
To do this right, I need to discard this list on a piece of paper and pull out a journal.
To do this right, I need to take the journal with me when I go where I go. Afterall, I'm not just thankful for things when I'm at home.
11. home-baked cookies
12. my sweet hubby bringing home goodies (today: strawberries)
13. a housecleaning spree (who knows why)
14. amazing friends
15. clearer understanding of an issue
16. a view of the sunrise for my son
17. my son's hard work during a week of testing at school
18. scrappin' time with my mom
19. bargains at Penneys on Friday night
20. a vanilla-spice candle
These are all honest bits of thankfulness from my heart, and yet after a week -- shouldn't there be about a million? I'm not comparing to Ann - really. I just know there should be so much more.
This coming week, my goal? To slow down, to read more of the book, and appreciate smaller things.
