Thankful Days

Check me out. Another list? I think yes. I'm obsessed.

Every day since the beginning of this month I've added to this post AND then day 6'ish the Sunday message presented a challenge: "For the rest of the month, I want to challenge us to live with radical thankfulness." Hello awesome. The pastor asked that we DAILY ask the Spirit to fill/empower us to be thankful in all things AND to verbalize it to those around us....

Today I'm THANKFUL for:

11/1/11 (I'm loving the digits in today's date).
The excited about life ATT rep who totally made my day with her good spirits/service. I'm pretty positive she was more stoked about my new phone than I was :)

11/2/11
Amazing email from a sweet friend about the possibility of going to another country and being used as a speech pathologist!! It's officially added to the prayer list.

11/3/11
New found hair dresser who lives in the same town! I'm branching out of the comfort zone. I've driven at least 100 miles for the past 6 years for my hair. Whoa.

11/4/11
For warm indoor spaces to put my cute patio plants when COLD fronts blow in!? Seriously I'm not allowed to kill (or in this case freeze) another plant.

Hanging out with little ones because life is always a party in their eyes.

Finally a shorter day at work and a road trip home to see fam!

The randomness time in the car with my family brings (aka obnoxiously loud sing-a-longs and rounds of Madlibs) AND Tech games (even though they haven't exactly shown up this season).

Rearranging/redecorating rooms with sweet auction/antique finds.

We've been trained to be discontent....it's my goal to live (not only in the month of November but every day) a life of gratitude. If a thankful heart is the foundation for God's abundant life....that's what I'm going to strive to have. Life kicks my butt sometimes but I will learn to be thankful in all situations.
