Gratitude
Thankful for 30.
That’s my sort of unofficial theme for November. For the next 30 days, I’m going to focus on the positive. I really try to do that anyway but I think it’s something I really need to make a priority right now when I’m overwhelmed by all the “musts” and “needs” of life in general and the holidays in particular.
For the next 30 days — the entire month of November — I’m going to write down at least one thing for which I am thankful each day. If I have a blog entry that day, I’ll include my thankful thing in it. Otherwise, I’ll Twitter it or write it on a Post-it note or jot it on the back of a piece of junk mail. However I do it, I’m going to put it in writing so I can commit to my gratitude.
I hope you’ll play along, too. I’m trying my first little Mister Linky sign up and I’ve got this little graphic you can swipe, too, for posting on your blog or web site. And I really hope you do, because I’m going to feel really silly to have an empty Mister Linky. ;-)
1. I am thankful for jeans with Spandex because they still fit me even after hoovering most of the bunny’s trick-or-treat haul.

The gratitude idea is FANTASTIC! I’ll be doing the same thing — thank you so much for the suggestion!!! I’ve also added my website and sewingBusiness blog onto your linky sites. Thanks for providing those as well!

This is a great idea, especially at this time of the year when things do get a bit overwhelming. I am in!

I’ll play along. The way I’ve been feeling lately though, I think this will be difficult for me. But totally need to do it. Thanks.

Sounds fun! I’ll try to post today! I’ve got a lot to be thankful for like great sewing friends!
I also see you had the same princess “situation” -ugg. At least next year we won’t have to do it again. Right?

I like that, it’s important to think about all the good things that are around us. I’m thankful for the vanilla milkshake I just had, it was heavenly!

[…] Today, I’m thankful that the campaigning will be done soon! Don’t get me wrong. I already voted and I’m very thankful for the chance to do that. I’ve just found this round of elections particularly draining and I’ll be glad when they’re over. Just make sure you get out and vote! And join us at Thankful for 30. […]

I’ll play too. I usually get so caught up in the craziness of this time of year I hardly have time to think of being thankful for anything and I don’t like that part.

I am thankful Al Gore invented the internet, because I would read way too many books without surfing it. Especially ebay and etsy.

I think it’s a great idea to spend the whole month thinking of what you’re thankful for. I’ve kind of been working on that in my head too. I am feeling a good burst of energy to nest and I’m thankful for that because I’ve had so little in the past year.
I don’t wear jeans but I love a little spandex in cotton for shirts.

This is such a good idea; I’d do good to try this myself. I am trying to be a more positive person all around, even though it may not always seem that way!

I’d like to play along, but I am pretty sure I can’t make a 30 day commitment…at least not on the blog. No matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to get by to post every day.
