Day 113 of Thanksgiving.....

113/252

Today I am so very Thankful for the fact that we can Choose! Just like this verse says - we can choose what we want to be, what we experience, how we handle what comes our way. The choices we make create our reality. If we choose to see the good in people, we will find it. We can choose to try to find joy in what we do and we will. This is a very hard concept to embrace at times but I have found it to be so true many times over. When I choose to focus on the negative that is what I get. When I choose to see the world as a dark unfriendly place, then it becomes that for me. We have to practice this each and every day and it becomes habit and makes our world a kinder place to live in and those around us are much happier to be in our lives.

Days

1/364 For years I worked in an office at a desk and one of the company supplied tools was a desk calendar. It was the kind with one page for each day and at the end of the day, that page would be torn off. In the bottom right corner of the page were two numbers with a slash between them. I was fascinated with these numbers - they represented the numerical place that day held in the 365 days of the year. Simple math but awesome to me. For the purpose of this blog I will do my best to use that representation to note 365 Days of Thanksgiving. I have tried this many times in journals but have always failed and let it fall by the wayside. I am hoping by creating this blog and posting it on FaceBook that I will have the organization and forethought to keep it going. I also hope this practice will allow me to keep things in perspective and realize the true joy in life and focus on that each and every day. So hear goes.....
