Days of PURPOSEFUL Thankfulness

My brain seems to always be busy with thoughts and ideas… it almost never SHUTS UP (until I get ready to sleep). But soon as I awake during the night or in the morning, there is INSTANTLY a thought or a song. This morning the discussion I had last night with a group of women during the Made To Crave class I facilitated came back to me. The main thought once again, was that the majority of us, this country, wakes up with EVERYTHING we NEED to sustain life, but we BELLY ACHE about WANTS. So I decided to go on a journey starting today until Thanksgiving Day where I post only 1 thing to “purposeful” be thankful about starting at the very minute (pronounced “minoot” here J).  You are welcome to journey with me by thinking about the inconveniences of not having this very same thing or start your own list. Let’s see where we mentally land by thanksgiving day! J I consider myself to be a very thankful person but we can always grow.  Here’s my day 1—

Toilet – I am thankful that I have access to a toilet in the morning or any time of the day. I don’t have to go to an outhouse or live in a 3^rd world country where I have to experience inconveniences to what I’ve become accustomed over my lifetime.  I could easily take this for granted. What if it didn’t flush…it broke! In my mind that’s money now I have to pay to have something fixed that I’m just so used to having work when I need it. I hate being inconvenienced in any area of my life because after all, I can easily think everything revolves around me if I’m used to having what I need. And I’m not alone in those tendencies. Yet…we take the conveniences of a toilet so for granted.
