Okay, so 1000 thanks was going to take longer to post at the rate that we were going than an elderly man changing trying to remove his undershirt (if you haven't seen this, just picture it...you'll know what I'm talking about). The whole point was to make Laurel and I more grateful, but taking that much time wasn't really making it happen, so there has been a change. We've decided to each write down 100 things we are thankful for each week until we get to 1000. It's a lot more work, but it's forcing us to notice things that have previously gone unnoticed because we have created this arduous task in life of focusing on the future rather than the present.
The downside: you will not read all 1000 things we are thankful for.
The upside: you will not read all 1000 things we are thankful for.
Join us. Write your thanks. Here are a few highlights from my list this week:
I woke up this morning.
It's amazing how often I take for granted the simple fact that God has given me another day.
It truly is a gift.
Ephraim saying, "Daddy"
He's always called me "Dadda", but out of the nowhere my rambunctious little boy started saying, "Daddy." It made me teary-eyed.
Watching "Community" and
eating popcorn with Laurel
It was amazing!
