Blog Your Blessings Sunday: Thankfulness — A Way of Life

by Hopeful Spirit on Sunday, February 4, 2007

Last Sun­day I posted about giv­ing thanks in all things, and I had a week that included some inter­est­ing moments, as you can read about below. But I am thank­ful even for those times because I learn so much from them.

I am doing fairly well in my efforts to be thank­ful. I have remem­bered to be thank­ful each day, although I don’t always remem­ber as soon as I would like to. Some­times I have “oh, yeah …” moments when I find myself real­iz­ing that my thank­ful atti­tude in kick­ing in later than it should be. I think I am going to post a lit­tle reminder in my office. I just have to fig­ure out where to put it so that it is notice­able to me, but not nec­es­sar­ily every­one else who enters that space. That will help me remem­ber to stop and say a prayer of thanks when I am frus­trated with or aggra­vated by some­thing hap­pen­ing in the workplace.

Tonight I had to remem­ber to be thank­ful for my chil­dren when they were dri­ving me nuts! But I man­aged to main­tain my sense of humor about it and even thought it got a lit­tle tense with the youngest for a few moments, it all passed quickly.

All in all, this giv­ing thanks busi­ness is quite effec­tive! Have you accepted the chal­lenge to give thanks in all things each and every day, not just on Sun­day when we are reminded because we need to blog about our blessings?

Give it a try and let me know how things go for you!

I agree. Blog Your Bless­ings Sun­day is a step­ping stone to a greater purpose–being thank­ful 24/7. Not an easy task, but worth the endeavor and more attain­able than many think.

Thanks for a great post.

I’ve always felt that pur­suits of the spir­i­tual are about striv­ing rather than attain­ing. As human beings we aren’t per­fect, there­fore no one will ever be a truly thank­ful per­son. To try and attain that state, while know­ing that it’s impos­si­ble says some­thing pro­found about the per­son. Since this is BYB Sun­day, I’ll assume it says some­thing good about them and leave it at that :-)
