We should be thankful every single day but often we are so caught up in day-to-day life, that we take the “little” things for granted. As Antonio Smith (no relation by the way) is quoted as saying “Enjoy the little things in life for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” I am often amazed when the boys will point out something, which usually Tom and I don’t even remember happened, but evidently it was a big deal for them, a small detail that makes all the difference. Never underestimate the power you have over the people in your life and never fail to be grateful. All too often, we fail to realize just how much we have and how blessed we really are, until it is too late.
There is a site, Grace in Small Things
My wish is that each of you enjoys a very Happy Thanksgiving surrounded by those people that are special in your life.
Today is a pretty rainy day. But a good day to reflect on the good things in life. I got an email from Grace in small things which reminded me I have a lot of reasons to be thankful. Here are today’s Five:
1. the soothing sound of rain falling
2. a really nice week with Tom
3. the boys come home tomorrow and life resumes as normal – the way it’s supposed to be.
4. the remaining quiet that I have left to enjoy for today
5. Three healthy, happy boys – the youngest of whom is turning 12 tomorrow!
Five things that I am grateful for today:
1. Snow and lots of it.
2. School not being closed because of it.
3. Healthy kids
4. Fire burning in the stove.
5. Crockpot -with dinner already in the works.

Okay I stumbled upon a couple of new blogs and one struck me as having a pretty cool…and grounding…idea. She is trying to list everyday for one year 5 things she is grateful for that day or in her life or whenever. Everyone needs to reflect upon what they have and what’s good about it…even if you are having the cruddiest of days or weeks. I like the idea since there are some days that I am pretty mopey myself. Here’s the link to the site and what it’s all about. Here my first list:
1/365
1. dinner as a family
2. figuring out how to let my hair down (literally) again
3. pink elephants with ice skates and ski hats
4. the warm fire
5. my family
