I try to always remember my blessings. Because I truly have so much to be thankful for!! And I’m not just saying that. Plus I feel better when I think of what I have and not what is missing in my life. So on that note, I have instituted Thankful Thursdays. I’m not promising every Thursday to be thankful for something {hehe} But this will be a pretty regular thing. Hopefully as you are reading through your blogs, you will see this post and remember … [Read more...]
