Time keeps marching on for our family. (Not a whole lot is new, but we're just fine with that.) However, its easy to become complacent with life, so I'm making a concerted effort to recognize and enjoy the little things this holiday season.
As the Thanksgiving holiday is almost upon us its always nice to engage in the old exercise of reflecting on one's blessings. Among my top items are family (and not just this cute little one), friends, economic security, health, and a whole host of other large categories that are normally mentioned around the table at dinner time come T-Day. Yet when I break each down (even at a surface level) its amazing to reflect on the different components that are encompassed by the categories of family, health, etc. Its a great exercise to actually sit down and "count your blessings" by "nam[ing] them one-by-one" as the old Sunday School song goes. In completing this exercise, I'm betting that I'll have a much better understanding about how my "same old, same old" life is not one that I should take for granted.
Won't you join me in being thankful?
