Day 95 of Thanksgiving.....

95/270

Today I am so very Thankful for Easter! Even if you are not particularly religious or believe in the history of Easter, it is a wonderful time of year when we can all celebrate our earth as it springs forth to life in celebration. I so loved dressing the boys up when they were small and filling Easter Baskets for them to ooh and ahh over on Easter morning. One of the best memories is getting them up for Easter Sunrise Service in the Park. It was chilly and damp but we had such a great time and even got some great pictures. When I was a child, we never missed the Sunrise Service and it held so much meaning and I can still smell the Easter Lillies covering the isles in our Lutheran Church. The hymns were so joyful and always made me cry. We would have breakfast and be right back at church for Sunday School and regular service. For whatever Easter may mean to you and your family, it is a wonderful celebration of life!

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.....
