Okay, maybe two pictures. But they are of the same thing. For some reason at FHE this week we all decided to pile onto this one couch. It sure was cozy, let me tell you! And of course we had to document the situation. I love my FHE family!
BUT! I have thought of something else to blog about. Seeing as it is November and Thanksgiving is coming up, I figured I would come up with a list of 100 things that I am grateful for. (You heard me, 100. This may take a while, possibly until Thanksgiving.)
In no particular order...

I feel very strongly that one of the most important things we can do in life is to show gratitude. Everyone wants to be appreciated for what they do, or just for who they are. No matter how glum life looks, there is always something to be grateful for. In fact, there are many things. Always. Life is a gift, and so is everything in it. So thank someone today. Look them in the eye, write them a note, or return a favor to sincerely thank them for a difference they have made in your life. Pay it forward and do something nice, even if no one is watching. As a result, you'll make someone happier, and you'll be happier too! Promise.
