Thankful

Let's face it - there are TONS of lists out there. A few headlines you might see are "10 Ways To Make Your Boyfriend Like You More!", "15 Reasons Why You Should Only Eat Kale" or "Need A Lift? Top 5 Plastic Surgeons In The Area".

Don't get me wrong, lists are great. They keep me organized and most of them are funny. But there's also a ton out there that subconsciously make us feel less than. So let's take it upon ourselves to make and spread a different kind of list this holiday season. One that has nothing to do with ME ME ME but rather things that are OUTside of ourselves.

So here we go, I'll start.

Jules's Thankful List

I am thankful for...

1. Anyone who reads this blog.

2. Working limbs and a strong voice.

3. My large family and loyal friends.

4. Guacamole.

5. Sunday football.

6. Sunday football AND guacamole. 

7. That there is something greater than myself guiding my journey.

8. The cutest little nephew who copies everything you say, including "baba ganoush!". 

9. A nice boy.

Your turn! It doesn't have to be long or sappy. Just take a few quiet minutes away from the screen you're currently looking at to reflect and use the following questions to jump start your grateful mind.

Who brings light into my life?

What brings me new experiences?

Where do I find calmness and peace?

PS - Why not share your thankfulness? The world could really use a little sparkle right now. Tell someone what you're thankful for and share a conversation. More times than not you'll make a deeper connection and understanding with a fellow human being. And especially if you're thankful for someone - TELL THEM. March on and spread your thankful angel dust my friends! You won't regret it!
