It is now tradition. Thank You Thursdays will be put on hold in November, in lieu of our Day of Thanks Journal. What started last year as a challenge turned into a great way of teaching the girls to look for gratitude in their day-to-day life.
I'm upping the tally this year, from fifteen to twenty-five. So here goes, Day No. One....
Abigail: "I'm thankful that I got my bracelet back. (Bouncing!) I love my bracelet. I can't even stop leaving my bracelet alone! (Still bouncing!) I can't stop loving that bracelet." (Galloping out of the room.)
Lauren: "Connor wasn't even at school today. How about nothing? I'm thankful for nothing. Mommy, I'm thankful for you. And I'm thankful for Buddha."
Brooke: "I'm thankful for my girls (as Abby suggested) but I'm also thankful for my missing lip balm. In searching for it, I discovered Abby's long lost bracelet nestled in the bottom of my purse. She must have taken it off at gymnastics and I put it in there for safe-keeping. It was so safe I completely forgot about it, even turning the entire house upside down in search of it. What a great way to start our collection of thanks. I'm so thankful I found the beloved bracelet!"
