Day 1

This first post in my Thankful Every Day blog will likely be the longest one. I want to explain what the blog is for and what made me decide to write it. After that I will just be keeping up with being thankful.

I am in a Facebook group that focuses on adoption. One if the women in there said that while she was waiting to adopt she kept a desk calendar. And every day she write something good or funny on it. I thought that was a great idea.

I have a lot if negative things in my life. And I complain about them all the time. Sometimes I get depressed. So I decided instead of a calendar that will be thrown away or lost, I would start a blog. One that is only upbeat and happy. And thankful. Sometimes, I get so caught up in the negativity surrounding me that I further to look for the positive. So I am challenging myself to write a positive post daily.

Sometimes it will be taking about a memory that makes me happy. Sometimes it will be something nice someone did or said to me. Sometimes it will be one if the off the all funny things my kids do. They are so good at that. :) I don't know what all will end up in this blog. But it will all be good.

For yesterday, since it is now past midnight, I just want to say I'm thankful for my kids. All of them.  Christopher is 20. Jeremy is 19. Joshua is 12. Alexia is 5. Rogue is almost 3 months. They are my world. And I am so blessed to be their Mama.
