Thankfulness has been neglected


So I have to admit, I have neglected posting things on this page for a long time. I have been feeling sorry for myself lately, and it is hard to post things that I am thankful for when I don't feel thankful. Life had gotten in the way. Maybe the little things have just built up to where it is hard to see past them. Maybe the big things are so big that it is hard to see around them. Maybe I am just selfish and don't want to see anything good right now.

But just because I don't feel it does not mean I can't be thankful. Just because I don't feel God's love does not mean it is not there. This life cannot be based on feelings---it has to be based on trusting in the things I believe and know to be true. And one of those things is that I have alot to be thankful for. So the list continues:

Thankfulness List

Snow covering my bird feeders but persistent birds still getting breakfast
The canary's lovely voice
The taste of homemade bread with homemade jam
Selling 8 books on amazon in one day!
A new candle to burn while writing letters
Writing letters on beautiful paper
The dear ones I am writing to
Planning a trip to Europe soon
Travel guides fetched from the library
A new book on my night stand waiting to be discovered
 To stop feeling sorry and to start feeling glad...
