The Gratitude Challenge, Day 4

Write a short message of thanks for some of the “negative” things in your life.


I'm thankful for financial struggles. I see ours, and I look around me, and I realize - we still have SO much to be thankful for! What we have does not define us. We can, and we will, live without some - if not all - that we have, and WE WILL THRIVE.

I'm thankful for my strong-willed, defiant little babes. This fire within them will, God-willing (and I survive), buoy them in later years when they face peer-pressure and trials in their adult life - and help keep them going.

I'm thankful for this blasted heat-wave, because it means I live in California, which I love and adore. Come February, I'll be longing for 90 degree weather again.

I'm thankful for the piles of laundry I've yet to fold tonight, because I didn't have to wash them by hand, and I love the little bodies that will wear those socks and undies this week.

Nighty-night...a demain!
