Days of PURPOSEFUL Thankfulness – Day #61

Note: Refer to day number 1 (July 25, 2015 post) if you don’t know what this is all about.

There is one particular innovation that gets blamed for a lot of bad things because people abuse its usage, but I’m very grateful for it. It’s helped me find out how to break into my own suitcase when I was far away from home without the key to the lock. It’s allowed me to gain a brother from another mother ocean’s away. It’s given me natural home remedies that have worked for my health. It’s provided me some great recipes. It’s currently providing a way for me to gain a grant writing certification with my crowded schedule. It allows me to work from home when needed. And among a host of other things, it’s allowed me to find my way home when I didn’t know how to get there. When it first came on the scene we called it the World Wide Web, but now we just coin it as just the internet. Sure, those of mine and past generations got along quite well without it. But could you imagine not having it now? We’d have to resurrect those Yellow Pages that we now just let sit on a shelf when they arrive at our front door or recycle them upon arrival. And let’s not forget thumbing through a dictionary or encyclopedia for a word or research. To be honest, the encyclopedia still has some of the most solid information depending on the online searches you come across. But you get my point. The internet has become our “go-to” for just about anything we need or want to find quickly. And we shouldn’t take this innovation for granted. Imagine living your life without it for the valuable reasons for its use. See any inconveniences? Be thankful for every convenience allotted you. Think about it. You could not read this blog if you didn’t have access to the internet.
