As a child that attended catholic school, I remember the activity so clearly, each year we would be given a cornucopia to color and decorate. On the Horn of Plenty were lines and on those lines we were supposed to write all the things we were thankful for. As a child I didn’t even think about it and I probably wrote the same thing every year. “I am thankful for my family, the roof over my head, the food on my plate.” Don’t get me wrong I am still thankful for those things but today as a mother I am thankful for so much more than that.
I have always lived my life following the rules, never stepping out of line, always doing what I thought was right. Although this is a wonderful way to live, it unfortunately caused me to not enjoy to moment, to not have fun, to not seek out things that I might enjoy. The thing that I am most thankful for is that all that my little family has been through in the past 3 months has made me realize that it’s okay to have fun, it’s okay to lighten up a bit, it’s okay to be silly and live in the moment. I hope this has made you think about all the things you are thankful for in your life.
I can spread kindness, a smile, thoughtfulness, friendship like peanut butter on a cracker. But…
