Two Cents and a Soap Box: Thanksgiving is in the air....

Thanksgiving is in my tummy. Or at least that's what I was thinking before my moment of profound reflection. I have so much to be thankful for; starting with the air in my lungs, my health, my job, the best boss ever, my family and friends (old and new), my son, my new apartment, my resources to make it all happen, peace of mind and God's unexplainable joy, my sanity, my opportunities, what is and is to come, the obstacle I have over come and the ones I will over come, my renewed hope and unyielding faith.....

Over the last two years I have tried to take time out to be thankful everyday for something. It really brings your life back into perspective. Starting today be thankful for something everyday. Ask yourself a simple question at the end of your day "How was I blessed today? " or "What am I thankful for today?" can be the beginning of finding more joy in your life. Some days with a stank attitude my answer would be. "I am thankful for the eye sight to see this bill." or "I am thankful I have a car that can breakdown." or " I am thankful my tear ducts work. So that I can cry." Once I started that process I began to really find more things to be thankful for, and I found joy in the midst of the chaos. And now as I write this blog I am thankful for too many things to list here. Challenge yourself to be thankful everyday, and not just on Thanksgiving....

I am thankful for the ability to still be silly and young at heart...
