This is November, the thankful month. However, being thankful should be something you do every day, not only once a year. What are you thankful for today?
I'm thankful for my heartbeat. Without it, I wouldn't be here with you.
I'm thankful for my breath. Without it, I would be in serious trouble.
I'm thankful for a fully functioning body.
I'm thankful for my five senses. Six if you count intuition.
I'm thankful for my brain. Without it, I would be a vegetable or dead.
I'm thankful for the ability to play, walk, and use my hands.
All these are gifts from God who made the body unique and able to think, reason, and enjoy life.
I'm thankful for my family, even the ones I don't see or communicate with anymore.
I'm thankful for a roof over my head, food on my table, a car in the parking lot, and friends. I'm even thankful for chores so I can keep my apartment clean and ready for unexpected company.
I'm thankful for the gifts God gave me. The ability to write, sing, even off-key, play the piano, and paint rocks.
I'm thankful God chose me as His child so I can be with Him when He calls me home.
I'm thankful for you. Spending time with you. Learning about where you live and your culture, knowing that even in our differences, we're the same.
What are you thankful for today? Let November be more than a once-a-year day to be thankful. Be thankful every day, no matter what your life looks like. The problems you face today just might be what you need tomorrow to give you strength to carry on.
Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

Yesterday a lot of good things happened to me so today it was one of those routine days only. The most I did was to wash a couple of loads of clothes and clean the kitchen.
But wait. Your post made me think of other things I did. Although I did not find pesto to cook some pasta, I found just the kind of meat to make those thin steaks covered with a beat egg and bread crumbs. So I cooked rice and lunch was delicious.
And once you start to think, there are lots of small things that can make your day.

@just4him Yep. I think it's too early to say I'm thankful we still have power. But, I am. I hope I can still say that tomorrow. Or even Thursday.

Indeed, there are many things to be thankful for, I'm thankful for everything: my health, my family my food, my security, peace, and many things that we often ignore.
Thank you for reminding me of these significant things that I often forget, and reminding me that even my problems are stepping stones to making me stronger.

"Be thankful every day, no matter what your life looks like......."
So much wisdom there. Often we forget about the bounties that we have, when faced with different challenges.
I will try to imbibe what you suggest here.
I think one more thing I can be thankful of today would be the lesser pollution that we are facing today as compared to a few days before.
Have a nice Wednesday!!

Sometimes the troubles make us forget to be grateful to the God. At other times, we simply forget. Why it happens is something I cannot figure out.
