I was saying to my Hubby last night that I really hate the fact that we go from Halloween to Christmas in just a couple of days, completely skipping Thanksgiving, that time of the year to stop and think of all the things we have and be thankful.
It is so easy for us to get caught up in the notion that we need more and if we have more, we will be happy. We feel like we have to keep up with the neighbors, coworkers or family members. How many of us have found ourselves saying...if I had more money, a bigger house or a better job then I could be happy? With this attitude we are setting yourselves up to be unhappy and we are not living our lives to the fullest.
I will admit that I have found myself falling into this trap and I have decided that I am going to take the month of November to practice "An Attitude of Gratitude" on my Facebook timeline. Everyday I am going to post something that I am grateful for, no matter how small and I am challenging you all to do the same.
That is a great idea, Lisa! I have learned that when I put my focus on being grateful, then there really isn't much else in life that I feel I need. <3
