This was way too simple today! Today (and everyday) I'm thankful to live in America! I'm thankful for all the Armed Forces and their families that sacrifice so much so that the rest of us can live in this great country. I'm thankful for the people that have given the ultimate sacrifices and wrote a check to the United States of America for the cost of their life. THANK YOU TO ALL VETERANS and all men and women currently serving! Without any of you, we wouldn't be able to do most of what we do everyday!! Prayers are sent up for all of you each and every day! THANK YOU!!
Greater Happiness for the day: Start a journal. Use it to record positive experiences and things you are thankful for. Read your own words during times when you feel down to remember how fortunate you truly are. And that's what this month of blogging is for me!! There haven't been many times in my life that I haven't recorded somehow, either online or in an actual journal. I find soothing to write it out (Vent frustrations, share joys, etc) even if no one ever finds it. I'm a writer by nature and I'd rather do that to weigh out pros and cons than fight over silly things!

Day 10
Today I'm thankful for my friends! I don't have a ton of friends, but I have a great list of acquaintances and an amazing list of a few besties!! They've all been there or helped me out in one way or another over the past many years!! I don't let people get to know me well very easily, but I'm friendly to just about everyone. I feel like you can not have too many connections and sometimes a simple "Hi, how are you?" and a smile goes a long way in someone's life! So THANK YOU to all those people in my life!! :D
Greater happiness tip of day 10: Simplify your life. Unburden yourself of possessions that lock you in the "rat race" of earning more money to pay for more things you don't really need. Spend time and resources on things that add real meaning to your life. Funny, that this is the tip today... I really want to take the Dave Ramsey classes on Financial Freedom that will be offered at my Church in the new year. I'm hoping my husband will be willing to let us do this too! We both know we need to work on this, but it's easier to say than do I think! This is probably one of my resolutions for the new year!!

Day 9
TODAY (was) IS MY MOMMY'S BIRTHDAY! I already said how thankful I am for her, but I'm truly blessed to have someone who was not only my mom but also an amazing person growing up! LOVE YOU!!!
Today I'm thankful for our home. There are many people that don't have even half of what we have and we are very blessed to be able to live in a house, run the air conditioning/heat to make it comfortable and fill it with toys, games, furniture and such (sometimes TOO much!!) :D We are blessed to be able to have a house that allows a family to live comfortably! It's a great house and we're blessed to fill it with lots of love!
Today's greater happiness tip: Savor every bite. Eat in a calm environment and use all of your senses to explore the texture, smell, appearance and flavor of your food. You'll be more satisfied after every meal. Okay...this is one I know we need to work on. I try to make our meal time comfortable and calm, but with two small kids, it's not always possible!!
