Some of my FB friends have been doing the daily posting
during November of what they are thankful for. Not me. Not that I’m not
thankful for anything, but I would probably forget to post one day or two days
and ending up having to do like 25 posts in one day. To escape the tedium of wading
through that, I wondered if blogging my grateful list would be more
appropriate.
Well then, you know how I get when I get those annoying
creative moments. So, I was thinking that we’re all thankful for things like
family, friends, homes etc. And not that it’s boring to mention those things,
but what if I just left off the short list of thanksgiving and trust you know
what all those things are? What if my thankful list consisted of small things,
everyday things that might not normally get a mention this time of year?
