100 things to be thankful for

April 9, 2006 Written by Lisa

I subscribe to this email newsletter called “Seeds of Surrender” and on Friday was challenged to come up with 100 things to be thankful for in my life. I’m sharing this list with my readers and invite you to try to come up with 100 things YOU are grateful for in your own life. Sometimes it’s the little things that make your life really sweet.

FYI, cookie baking was fun and Joe and Leigh turned out to be expert Italian cookie rollers! Who knew? I’d say they were channeling the spirit of La but Mary said that he’s been able to do it for a while now. Hmmm. Good to know.

Anyway, here’s my list. What’s yours?

    I think everyone should make a list like this and carry it with them as a reminder of how much we have to be thankful for.
