Oops, forgot to post yesterday. But I will go from today on. Today I am thankful that is Friday. I am thankful that Monday is a holiday so it is a 3 day weekend. I am thankful that my boss got me lunch. I am thankful for the laughter and the special silliness of my team. I am thankful that as of right now, I don't have church tonight.

8/28/2013

Today I am thankful for the rain that sort of hides my tears I am thankful for music that speaks to how I feel I am thankful for my best friend who hasn't said I told you so yet I am thankful that I only work until 6 I am thankful that work is not my end all be all I am thankful that work is not my sustainer, that God is I am thankful that God's plan is bigger than my wants I am thankful that I am not always given what I want I am thankful that though it hurts right now, that hurt doesn't last forever I am thankful that tears help bring out the pain I am happy that apparently my heart still works and can still feel pain, I had wondered after Jermaine. I am happy that love lost doesn't mean that it was the true or only love I am thankful for words that help with the pain I am thankful for pain that releases the pain.

Day 6: 8/27/2013

Good Morning Thankful Nation -- Today I am thankful: That my commute didn't seem as long That I get off at 6 That I figured out that I look bloated because I put on the wrong jeans That there weren't too many emails waiting in my inbox That there is only one escalation that i didn't call back yesterday That it is nice and quiet right now That I was able to go 20 minutes at work with no calls That I don't have a board meeting tonight That I have some time to get some reading in Daniel and 1 Timothy done right now .....and that is exactly what I am going to do.

Day 5: 8/26/2013

So I missed Saturday and Sunday, but with good reason......I was super busy on both days. Saturday: My big sister (in Christ) Shanita got married. I was thankful that she had sunshine on her day. She looked absolutely beautiful and everyone was really happy. I'm happy that she had fun and that things, though they weren't exactly as planned, worked out beautifully. Sunday: We had two services. I can't lie it was a struggle but I am thankful for the people that graduated Evangelism class and for the fact that our Pastor didn't make us stay at second service the entire time. TODAY::::::::::::::::::::: I am thankful that I got to sleep in. That Kelly is making the run to pick up paper towels for church. That the board meeting got moved to Sunday ( I get to catch up on everything) and that Morris and Tessa switched shifts so I will have a pretty stress free evening. That is all, and I am all caught up.

Day 3: 8/23/2013

Today I am thankful that it is Friday That I only work Monday through Friday That we have an hour long meeting to start the day For music that speaks the words that I am afraid to say For life, because the fact that I woke up this morning means that God still has use of me For prayer and the word of God For the shift in my attitude that is going to take place today, claiming it For repentance and starting fresh For having done this for 3 days straight.

Day 2: 8/22/2013

Today I am thankful that my life is so much more than my job because they are really working a nerve. I am thankful that my brother made it through surgery yesterday, and that his pain is not as bad. That Mercededes got to see her 19th bday That there are less than 3 hours left in this work day. That life could be oh so much worse than it is right now That I don't have to be uber happy about every moment of everyday. That joy and happiness are not the same thing. That Deep breaths sometimes help. That I was able to eat what I wanted for lunch. That I had the most beautiful dreams last night about adopting a beautiful baby boy. That Even in my bad moods God loves me.

DAY 1: 8/21/2013

Today, I am thankful for: life repeated changed to get it fright God not being as short with me as I am with people my job the car I drive clithes jewlery gas God's love doctor's who will work on my brother (Bri-bri) My brother (Ron's job) My church my phone a place to live the ability to write that my blog websites were not blocked at work That my work load this morning wasn't too crazy

PURPOSE:: I have been going through an awful lot spiritually as of late and I decided that a huge part of my problem is my attitude. I have decided to go back to a thank you journal. < Thank you Journal is where you write the things that you are grateful for. It promotes an attitude of gratitude, and an attitude of gratitude can change your entire mood > Instead of complaining every day I am going to begin to tell God what I'm thankful for each day. Because, regardless to what is going on around me, there is something to be thankful for EVERYDAY. Now we both know I won't update daily, but some days I will record via internet, and some days on good old fashioned pen and paper, but EVERYDAY I will record!!!
