10 Reasons To Be Thankful Now


“Express gratitude for the greatness of small things.”
― Richie Norton

Here are 10 reasons to be thankful:


1. Every day brings new opportunities and the sun is shining.

2. There are people in your life who love you.

3. You can give love to others.

4. You are in good health.

5. We have the freedom to enjoy many things in life.

6. You have the opportunity to learn new things every day.

7. You can cherish your past joys and memories.

8. Technology has made our lives easier.

9. Sometimes strangers show us kindness.

10. Forgiveness is always possible.

Take time to reflect on these reasons and consider what you are thankful for. Consider keeping a journal to record daily entries of your positive thoughts. Focusing on gratitude can help start your day on a positive note.

I would love to hear from you! Please comment below and let me know what you are thankful for.

    It's easy to get caught up in the negative at times and focus on what we don't have. When I catch myself doing this I try to turn my thoughts to what I do have and what I am thankful for. A roof over my head, food on my plate and a loving family. That's all I really need in the end.

    It’s such a great idea to keep a list of things that you’re thankful for. It’s easy to get caught up in thinking about all the things you don’t have but we really have so many things to be thankful for.

    Whenever I am in a bad mood, I stop and list off several things that I am grateful for. This puts my hostility in serious perspective for me, and usually changes my mood pretty quickly. I love this list.

    Such lovely thoughts. The fact that we are privileged to be born human is itself a reason good enough to be thankful. Being positive & kind hearted are the true key to be happy. Positivity drives happiness for me.

    I needed to see this today. As tensions rise with the upcoming election, recent civil unrest, family estrangement...it's good to stop and think what we are grateful for. I'd love to share this on my own wall today if I may?

Fun with popsicle sticks...and more!

Since my daughter and I didn't make it out to the library, we did our own craft, and story time. (Which in my opinion is the best) :) Today we made popsicle stick frames, with a message. It was so much fun. For this craft the materials you need are: -Popsicle sticks -Hot glue gun -Paint -Markers/crayons -Construction paper (and scissors) 1.Start off by making a frame out of your popsicle sticks. Glue the corners together. I went ahead and made a message on construction paper to glue on to the back of the frame. (You will have to cut it to fit the frame. 2.Once that is done, paint your frame. (Have fun with it!) My daughter had so much fun with all the different colors. :) 3.Now once that is finished make a T-shape out of two popsicle sticks. (This is for the stand for the back of the frame.) Glue both sticks together, and glue it to the back of the construction paper. You're all done! Now you have a cute popsicle stick frame, with a message! Enjoy~ ...

I found it easier to wrap my containers with my craft paper and make the marks I needed before cutting them to size.  Tape your crafting paper into the container and then make necessary cuts to the paper using your scissors. Once this is done, take the last piece of crafting paper that you cut out earlier and place it over the spot that you were unable to cover. Take some clear tape and apply it to the contai...
