A Season of Thanksgiving...

'Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our Thanksgiving.' I love this quote. I am good about saying things about... but lately not so good at doing or using. So during this season of thanksgiving, I am going to continue to say, to remind myself if nothing else about all that I am thankful for and also add a measure of use - I want to do something at least once a week to show someone how thankful I am for them. There are so many people that I am grateful for and that are such amazing examples to me and really matter, so I want them to know that! Also I want to do better at using the blessings I have been given. The rest of the year has flown by me and I feel like I have missed it! So I want to really use this magical time of year to focus on the blessings of life, and enjoy the season with a true attitude of gratitude.
P.S.
Don't you love the above picture!! I do! So today, I am thankful for a digital camera and a husband who takes amazing pictures that I will be sharing through out the month of gratitude posts!

The picture is GREAT--love all the colors.

I try to focus on blessings, but some days it seems like I enjoy having my very own pity party (and thankfully usually no one else comes ; )

Bring on the gratitude posts--they will help me remember.
