the reason(s) why

I normally don't make new years resolutions, but after talking with a friend tonight I decided that I should make one for this upcoming year...

Thursday, in my book, is Thankful Thursday.

Every Thursday...alright, almost every Thursday...for the past year or so I have written down, typed or text what I am thankful for.  At times I will send a text out to 10-20 people not only sharing with them what I am thankful for in the past week, but will ask them what they are thankful for.  Without fail I get multiple responses back overflowing with gratitude and happiness and I have loved reading all the things that people who are dear to me are thankful for.  Because of this and the other great positive results I've seen in my life by constantly striving to find things to be thankful for, I have decided that this next year, 2012, I will do my best to continue doing this as well as record my Thankful Thursday experience, ALWAYS including my own thankful list.  I really think that this would not only be a great way to remember all the things I'm thankful for throughout this next year, but it will be great to be able to access it whenever and re-read the things I've said and that others have shared.

So, here's to my New Year's resolution and all the thankful days ahead!  Cheers!
