I was talking to my oldest sister over the holidays and the subject of counting your blessings came up. As we shared our various ways of doing so, the overwhelming point that we had both reached was that no matter how bad the day, week, month or year, there is always something to be thankful for or some positive aspect - you just have to pay attention. I'm looking forward to 52 weeks of counting my blessings in 2011 and I hope you will join me by counting along in a journal, on your blog, in your head or as a comment right here at Busy Nothings. Take time every day to recognize the bounty and blessings all around you. This week I'm thankful for:
201. Fresh starts
202. Warm days (so I can take down Christmas decor without freezing!)
203. Good after-Christmas deals
205. Enjoying an honest-to-goodness white Christmas
206. A full tank of propane
207. Focus and goals for the future
208. Medicine to take when my nose won't stop running
209. Faith that God will lead us
210. My L.L.Bean "Wicked Good Moccasins" from Peter
Side note: Please make sure you take time to vote in the poll on my side bar - I'm interested in hearing what YOU would like to see more of on Busy Nothings in 2011. Thanks!
Those slippers look soooooooooo amazing.
