The Thanksgiving Season is one of my favorite times of the year. I personally do not like the turkey and the traditional Thanksgiving foods. What I love about this time of year is how it causes me to stop and think about all of my many blessings. All too often we take so many things for granted. Even on my worst day, I am still far better off than millions of people in the world. I have made a personal challenge to send out a message each day this month about one thing I am thankful for. So far it has been going very well, and it has really helped my attitude. I find myself much more grateful for even the little things. I love the fact that I see many others doing the same thing on facebook. It does my heart and soul good to see people expressing gratitude instead of complaining about everything.
It seems that especially with the social networking the world is full of more hate, rumors, and drama than ever before. I have personally considered discontinuing my usage of these sites because of this, but then I decided that would be allowing Satan to win in a way. I can be a blessing and a testimony by remaining positive and being there for others. The ones that only cause drama can easily be ignored. My hope is that my attitude will be contagious and more people will start giving thanks for the small things.
