This month, I decided to participate in the Facebook November challenge of posting something I am thankful for each day. I set myself some rules before starting too. I couldn't use the (in my opinion) cop-out of "I'm thankful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" I guess it isn't really a cop-out, but it felt like it, so I couldn't use it. And I couldn't skip a day and then post two or three things the next time I posted. I had to post something each day. With those two self-inflicted rules, I set about the challenge.
It certainly wasn't always easy, but then, I expected that. Sometimes I would post something sort of sarcastically, and then try and convince myself that it was true through the day. And sometimes, it actually worked. However, sometimes it didn't.
Overall, I'm glad I did it. It made me really sit there and think about what I could be thankful for that day. It made me see more about the little things in life. Focus more on the good. Which is what we should be doing more often, than just one month out of 12.
