{a thankfulness list} now.

What are you thankful for today?

Sorry to ask a deep question
if you've just taken the first sips of coffee
and the caffeine has yet to kick in....but...
sleepy-eyed that you are,
what are you thankful for today?

I don't know if you're like me, 
but sometimes, 
when things are bumpy and rough,
I focus on them. The bumpy and rough, I mean.
I find that instead of lifting my head to see the
blue sky,
sunlight,
green trees,
and soaring carefree birds,
I see all of the stuff that's "wrong".
Maybe sometimes you do that, too? 

So what are you thankful for today?
Make a list.
Write it down.
Get out of your own head
and look around at the small and the simple.
Because even the smallest and the most simple
are really and truly profound blessings.

Maybe start a thankfulness list today.
Start with just three things.
Grab a sticky note or a notebook or your hand 
(gasp...don't tell your mother I told you to write on your hand)
and write 'em down.
One, two, three. 
Simple. Easy.
And beautiful.

Many blessings,
Deni
