I asked my son to create a blog for me. I figured it would take a while; it took about 2 minutes. It’s a bit daunting, this first post. I’m not even sure what I hope to relay but I do feel I have something to say. I hope in the end that I impart something useful.
The word for today is thankful. Sometimes that’s not as easy as it sounds, I know. However, it is in every book I’ve read on happiness and I’ve found that the more I think of the things I’m thankful for, the more things there are to list. Even on bad days, there are still furry friends to snuggle, chili dogs to eat, or soulful songs to hear.
Each night, my boyfriend, my boys and I light a candle and share our thankfuls. It’s a time we all look forward to – hearing what each of us has done, and perhaps getting a glimpse of what we hope to do. I highly recommend it.
My girls and I tell each other “something good” that happened to us each day at dinner time. I like your candle idea. : )
Thanks for giving me the link. Can’t wait to read more!!!

I love this Cherie!! It is always best to reflect on our blessings than what we don/t have.
