While I was pregnant I read Ann Voskamp's book One Thousand Gifts. I was so inspired and I wept openly as I realized how unthankful I am on a daily basis. Not only was I aware of my own thanklessness but I was struck with the images she conjured with her writing, how she saw the beauty in the dishes and how she saw beauty all around her home and farm. If she can find beauty in the everyday chores than I should be able to see it in my own life. I started writing down the things that I am thankful for but then I had a baby and was so busy tracking eating, sleeping and pooping that I haven't touched my journal in four months. Over the weekend we were listening to music and rocking the baby to sleep and I realized what a beautiful moment I was in the midst of on an ordinary Saturday. So I had a stroke of brilliance. I will start posting daily something that I am thankful for or that I found beauty in during that day.
I would love it if you would join me and do the same. How uplifting would it be to see a Facebook status feed full of links to things that are positive?
Please comment if you will be doing this on your blog and eventually I will get a linky up so that we can keep track!
