It doesn't have to be Thanksgiving...

We all go through the day to day life --running around like chickens with our heads cut off-- picking up kids, cooking, shopping, driving from here to there, working... etc.

How many times in the day do you stop, take a deep breath and think about things you are thankful for? I mean really stop,breathe and thank. If you are like most of us-- you don't really... well do any of those things... ha ha.

Did you know that it really doesn't add any moments to your life by running running running??? It might get you wherever you are going a few minutes faster-- but was it REALLY worth the few minutes? This is the life you were given-- don't run through your days so fast running--- enjoy them- enjoy the journey.



If you take a moment and really just think about all the blessings-- it makes you happy, a smile appears on that beautiful face of yours... and a deep sigh is let out... "awww i am so blessed!!...sigh" I know I don't always stop & breathe... but the times I do are so worth it. Like now... so many things that are going on causing stress-- and then I make the decision to STOP & BREATHE-- this leads me to look beside me and see my cute pug & my amazing husband both snoozing together-- it makes me sigh and sweetly smile. I am so thankful for them both!

What are some of your blessings?
What are you thankful for?
What makes you smile?
What makes your heart SO happy?
It can be anything... a memory, a certain person, a place, a specific something that you hold dear to your heart?
Whatever your blessings may be-- make sure that you thank the One above for each and every one. :) Because it doesn't have to be Thanksgiving to be thankful!!

Everyday is a gift from God... (James 1:17) and I am thankful for that!!


Take care of you :)
