I Miss My Daily Thanks....

I was telling Scott last night, that after 30 days of posting what I am thankful for... I swear to you, it has become my way of life.  It's the first thing I think about each day now.  Especially in those moments when I am really SO NOT thankful.  I am constantly searching for something, anything... in the midst of crap, to really be thankful for.

I feel like, when you do something for 30 days straight... it becomes a habit. A part of you.  Routine in it's own way.  I feel like I almost snapped my brain into looking for the good in everyting.  Corny? Cheesey?  Probably.... but true... and most definitely a damn good thing!

I've always been a glass is half full, optimistic girl... but I hadn't quite examined what really made me so... or what was so great in my every day life that I should really be thankful for. And, then, I did it for 30 days straight.... and now I miss posting about it each day.  It was such a bright spot to my day.....

So, when I came across a blog post about An Experiment of Joy.... I knew this could be for me!!! We are halfway through December, I know, I know... but I want to start now... with my own version of this Joy Project....... I am going to post for the rest of the month on something that truly brings joy to my world... my heart and my life...

JOY!  I have always loved the word.  I remember choosing readings and songs and printed items based on Joy for  our wedding.  My invitation wording was "You are invited to share in the joy of...."  I like it a lot.  Life should be filled with more joy!!!!

So, you are all going to have to humor me and put up with my joy for the rest of the month!  :-)

And, if you so choose... you can join me.  I promise it won't hurt!
