Every year I see the FaceBook "game", if you will, of 30 days of being thankful in November. But there is far far more in my life to be thankful for than I can squish into 30 days. So I am going to see what happens if I take this journal and change it into a celebration of everything I am thankful for... for the next 365 days...

Days 2 and 3 of 365
Well... today I am thankful for technology failures. I know... WHAT?!? But I am quite serious. If technology worked all the time, smoothly that is, I think we would likely be a society that is quite disconnected from each other. Because my post yesterday went the way of the dodo (it was a good one too - about my son so I will share it again later) I ended up having extra playtime with him because as any parent can tell you - playtime with kids is a marvelous way to boot stress. Actually allow me to amend that, lots people of all walks of life (parental or other) can attest to the benefits of playing with (or even like) children.

Day 1
I am starting the game late but... better late than never right?
Day 1 of 365:
I am thankful for so many things, trying to pick just one to start is almost painful. Mostly because not matter what, there will always be this feeling that my first choice is the MOST important thing in my life; an maybe it is.
I am thankful for me. I know, egocentric right? But it's true. I am thankful that I get to go through this messed up, crazy world as me! I am outgoing, extroverted, funny, silly, sweet, romantic, impatient, scatter brained, talkative, a dreamer, far from perfect and about 50+ other adjectives.
Sometimes it's easy, my goals and dreams lying down at my feet with grace and ease, sometimes I am not sure of my path and feel so lost a map couldn't offer any guidance and sometimes I wander off that path on purpose forging a whole new direction in my life. But through it all, no matter how hard it gets, how tired I am at the end of any given day, no matter how much I sometimes envy the life I see others living... I am thankful to be me, living my life, one day at a time.
