It is time again to reflect on this
weeks things of thankfulness. What are you thankful for this week?
For myself, it was a week of dropping the ball again. I have been
late meeting my writing goals but I am thankful that I didn't give
up. It guess in this case it was “better late than never”. Why
would I be so grateful?
In the past, when I became discouraged
because I couldn't complete a project, I would give up. That one inch
of giving up would turn to two, and two to three, until before I knew
it weeks had passed before I gave it a shot again. This week I told
myself I couldn't give up. Not yet. Not before I found my limits.
I also did something that in the past I
wouldn't dream of doing. I began to connect with a group of writers
that I have been following for years on HubPages. I am thankful for a
chance to get to know them better. I am also thankful for the
encouragement I received on my own writing.
I am thankful that I was bless by God
with a sense of humor and a gift to tell a story. For when the time
came, I was thankful that I could help a friend with a dose of
laughter. It didn't seem like much for me but I know it made a
difference to them. (Anytime you need another laugh...look me up. I
had a blast.)

I am thankful that my grandson was
given a clean bill of health on his checkup. It is amazing to see how
fast these little tykes grow. I am still questioning where the time
went. It doesn't seem possible that he is three weeks old now.
I am thankful for the patient and
loving husband I have. He has done a lot to keep me grounded this
week. He gave me encouragement when I needed it. He reminded me why I
had chosen a path I did, when I began to revert to my old ways. I may
have made his life miserable this week, so I am extremely grateful he
loves me and all my flaws.
Most of all I am grateful for my faith.
I know I mention it quite often. It is something that fills my heart
to share. I realize not everyone may want to hear it, or believe the
same as I do, and that is okay. To be true to myself is to
acknowledge that God has worked wonders in my life. I have received
many answered prayers again this week. One of them came in the form
of a friend that feels the same as myself. If it hadn't of been for
that conversation, I may never had taken the time to read my first
writings on sharing that faith. I am thankful for that chat.
If you have something your are thankful
for and want to share. Please feel free to do so. Come and join the
group TToT sponsored by Considerings. I will see you all again,
hopefully before Silly Sunday. If not, come join in the fun with
Everything Susan's Silly On Sunday and RealHousewife.
