The Be Thankful Challenge

By

GeneThis morning while catching up on some posts my friends wrote, I caught Joni Staples post!  She ran across the night before two posts by Lisa Lambert and Donna Foresters concerning making a challenge to write a post on something we are thankful for everyday (starting today) until Thanksgiving!

Then what fun we will have sharing our grateful ideas with family and friends!  No points, just a wonderful feeling to really express our love and joy in celebrating "Thanksgiving"!

I have so many wonderful things to be grateful for in my life. I'll start out my first day of the challenge being Thankful for my husband, Geno, who has taught me love has a syncopated beat...a mutual give and take.  He has shown me Love is a verb...it actively participates.  The four principles our love is built on is: courtesy, caring, kindness and commitment.  Thank you Geno for sharing your life with me and our family!

Geno's a lucky man, Dorie. And, you're a lucky woman to have someone who cares for you as Geno so obviously does. Great first post in the "Be Thankful Challenge".
