Thankful Thursday

So last night I was in the shower thinking. (It's not always necessary that I tell you where I was while thinking, but for me, shower thinking is just different than the normal thinking, you know?  You too?  Maybe not. That's okay. :)
I was thinking about how thankful I've been feeling lately.  Like, it's just flowing out of my heart.  I'm not even trying to "prime" the "thankfulness pump"- it's just flowing out of me.  And this is a real thought I had.

"Too bad it's not thanksgiving."
And then I thought,
"That's rediculous!"
Because I should be overflowing with thanks ALL THE TIME! Not just on Thanksgiving!
I certainly have enough to be thankful for!
So, I decided that (including, but not limited to) every thursday, I want to make a Thankful Post where I talk about one thing, 100 things (or any number in between of things) that I'm thankful for.

A) It will keep me writing AT LEAST once a week (which I have been failing, miserably, to do lately).
B) If I'm not feeling thankful that day, writing the post should do well to remind me of at least one thing to be thankful for.
C) Why thursdays? Because I like alliterations, Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday and I'm thankful for Thursdays because they're my favorite day of the week (I couldn't tell you many reasons why though, because I don't have many.  I just like it.)

Today is Friday but in honor of my first post of this genre, I'll say that I'm thankful that I can enjoy the fulfillment of just being thankful.  It sounds a little silly and redundant, but being thankful evokes joy in me, and I'm thankful for that.

Christmas Eve Eve

Today is Christmas Eve Eve.  I worked almost all day.  I'm very thankful for the hours and I didn't have other plans so I didn't mind being there. One of my managers kept asking me if I was in a bad mood though.  I think 3 times she asked me this today between the two shifts that I worked.  At first I just thought I wasn't really paying attention to my facial expressions since I was busy and tired (I tend to look mad when I'm not paying attention and tired). Then I started thinking about it more and I realized that maybe there was something wrong deep down and I hadn't even noticed it. There has been quite a bit on my mind for the past few months and especially this past week or so- I had noticed that- but I didn't know it had gotten to me so much.  I am thankful though because it gives me an opportunity to give the burden to the Lord.  This whole thing has made me think that even though there is noticeably something on my heart the fact that Christmas i...

Post Prompts I

I googled blog post prompts just for fun and found a website with a whole bunch.  Rather than writing whole posts on some of the topics, I decided to do interview style responses. Write about the first time you broke the law. When I was 4, stole a handful of grass seed from a store. Felt awful but never admitted to it untill way later. They knew I was lying but never prosecuted (is it even possible to prosecute a 4 year old?).  I discarded the evidence onto their lawn as soon as I got out of the store (I guess that was sort of smart).  Why grass seed? Good question.  Your favorite vacation spot or place that you've traveled to. An Island in Malaysia called Redang. Everything about that place looked like those tropical photos you secretly doubt the existence of.  Straight up B-E-A-U-tiful. Write about the passing of a loved one. My Grandma died 2 years ago on the 4th of July (ironic, don't you think?).  For me, the whole experience wa...

Seasons: The Future

So about the future.  I obviously don't know it so it makes sense that this one might be a little shorter (or longer-it could logically go either way, I just went with shorter). There are litterally (at least) a hundred different ways it could go. After the internship I'm doing, I might stay on there. Or I might come back here. If I come back here I could work, go away to college, take classes from home, live with my parents, move out with some friends, get some kind of certification and work a more specific job, come back to the office job I have now, etc. Or I could move to CA and live with some family and find a job with some distant cousins. Or I could move to some other random state and adventure there. The list of possibilities goes on and on. What sounds best to me right now is to do one of the aforementioned options that have to do with moving back here but we really will see won't we.
