In church this week we were challenged to write down 100 things we are thankful for, I thought I would share my list and encourage you all to do the same, it really made me realize how much there is to be thankful for, and made me realize how blessed I have been. Something I thought of while doing this was how i often focus on the one negative thing in my life when there is a plethora of great things in my life to be thankful for. So I guess you could say that my Thanksgiving resolution is to focus on the many positives in my life instead of the few negatives.
