The Being Thankful Challenge

Well I'm officially a 1/3 of the way through my 30-day being thankful, hand-writing-letter, challenge. And I'm loving the challenge! It is a challenge. The simple act of sitting down and writing a letter everyday is hard - it's a new discipline that I'm creating.

In some ways it has been easier and more fun that I thought it would be. I have yet to have no one to write a letter to. I have so many people that I love a lot who I am so thankful for. The hard part is choosing who to write to each day - the list is long. Some days I wish I could write a letter to somebody I've already written a letter to - I'm just that thankful for them.

I'm having fun writing to the people I love and so thankful for and telling them how much I love them and how thankful I am for their friendship in my lives. I'm realizing more and more how blessed I am by the people in my life. The Lord has definitely blessed me by these dear friends.

I totally recommend doing this challenge to anyone who is thinking about it - or even if you're not thinking about it, you should do it. I think it's been more of a blessing to me to write these letters than to those who receive them - I'm learning how much I am loved.
