Although it is already December I thought I should at least go back and finish my month of thankfulness! Better late than never...
DAY 29 I'm thankful that in my past I made mistakes and learned from them. Although some might want to wish those mistakes away, I am not one of those people. Those mistakes that I made (and some that I made and then remade, etc, etc) have made up who I am today. There were some mistakes that were just like feathers floating in the wind...but there were many others who didn't just happen, but instead they happened, I felt pain from them, and then I look some important life lessons from them that will stay with me for the rest of my life. My past mistakes have often times helped me be a better friend, a better wife, and a better social worker. But these mistakes have only taken a positive turn because I have chosen to learn from them and change from them and become a better me because of them!
DAY 30 I'm thankful for the chance that I get each and every day to wake up and live a life full of expectations and security. My job has taught me so many things; however one of the main things is a reminder each day to be thankful for where I live and the life that I have. I am so very thankful that each day I get to wake up next to my husband in our warm bed, in our nice house, and drive cars that work to our secure job where we make money to buy food that is both life sustaining and good, I then get to come home again to my nice house, with our comfy furniture, and watch tv or read or do whatever our little hearts desire. There are millions of people who don't even get to do one of those things I mentioned above let alone all of them. So, at the end of this month of being thankful I hope that I can continue each day being thankful for the life I have been given in one of the greatest countries in the world.
