A Thankful November

Happy November!  I hope everyone enjoyed the rest of their October! Halloween was fun in the Thayer household, and not too much candy, yay!  We love spending holidays with family and Halloween was no different, trick-or-treating with the Simmonds Family and the Young Family.

But since it's now November, a month where many Americans focus on giving thanks, I figured Self Soul Space would join in.... 30 days of being thankful.  Can you think of 30 different things to be thankful for?  Now, Self Soul Space encourages you to be thankful everyday of the year, not just in November.  But how can you make these 30 days special or different?  Maybe share your 30 days of thankfulness with someone, or show how grateful you are by giving back.  This November, I am challenging my family to join me.  Every night before bed, we will share what we are thankful for.  You can never start too early in teaching kids to be appreciative and grateful for the many blessings that surround them.

November 1.  I am thankful for the gift of life! I am grateful to wake up every morning and see a new day. I am thankful for the lives of my daughters and my husband, as well as the rest of my family and friends. I am also thankful for the gift of life that is growing inside of me.  The gift of life is everywhere around us, so enjoy the gift of life, take care of the gift, and be thankful.
