I recently saw a study about how important it is to be thankful. The study consisted of participants writing what they were thankful for in a journal each week. Well, winter time can easily give me the "mean reds." In order to stay sane, here is my weekly thankfulness post. Here's to a happy 2012!
One: I am thankful for my dad. Today is his birthday, and I made a slob of myself crying in the card aisle of Walgreens earlier.Why do the cards have to be so emotional? Where are the cards that just say "Happy Birthday, Dad?" Anyway, he is one of the best men I know--maybe THE best. I am so proud to call him my dad, and I pray that I can celebrate many more birthdays with him. Ok, stopping now for fear of more tears.
Two: I am thankful for my job. I know, I know, I work in a public school in Tennesee. How am I thankful for that job? you ask. Well, I hear funny things all day from 7 years olds, I work with such sweet women that support each other, and it really builds my patience. I know that God has put me in this position for a reason, even though this is my hardest year yet. Trying days like today make you think about the big picture. Glad that I have a job to go to everyday.
Three: I am thankful for new nail polish (especially when it's blue). Bright colors are my go-to in winter. Bright purple on Monday, now blue. You know, right?
