It's November. The year is ending and the holidays are just warming up. Usually at this time of the year I am rather burned out. Thinking about mustering any energy for cooking large amounts of food and having large amounts of people over is draining at first. I literally have to talk myself into taking up the mantle to get things done. During the whole process there's a motivational speech in my brain on auto repeat. Once the food is cooked, and family and friends start arriving for the day's festivities I'm fine and very grateful. This year I am purposely setting the whining and complaining in my head aside.
From the inspiration of a dear neighbor I received last year, I've decided to have a go at purposely thinking about what I am thankful for everyday this month. This life we live is only lived once and I am quite tired of finishing the year with no gas. When a fire is smoldering it's time to add more heat to make it roar. This is not the typical post to anticipate the coming days but it is a real one! For anyone who finds that they feel the same during this time of year let's get back to basics and commemorate life...one day at a time. With all of its complexities and nuisances, this life we have been given is rich. As I type this I can hear the chattering of my kiddos, the tapping of my fingernails on the computer, and a plane going by outside. I am thankful for the life I have been given. It has been a wild ride...spectacular indeed! YOUR life is like NO other! Happy Monday, have a wonderful day!
