Thanksgiving Challenge 2021

Thanksgiving Challenge 2021

 

Can you believe it? There are only 10 days until we will be celebrating Thanksgiving. This is certainly one of my favorite holidays of the year. Thanksgiving Day is different for everyone, depending upon where your family is located and the traditions which you celebrate. Of course, COVID restrictions are still in place in many areas. This being our second year of COVID concerns as well. 

 

Which leads me to this month’s challenge…

 

One thing we have in common is that we are all so incredibly blessed…hence this challenge. Beginning today and each day through Thanksgiving Day, write a post about something you are thankful for. It can be anything - it doesn’t have to be the same thing(s) that everyone else is thankful for - whatever YOU are thankful for is what we want to read about. Oftentimes, it’s the smallest of our blessings that give us the most joy!

 

Be Grateful

 

Sharing our blessings truly makes them come to life and helps us focus on what is really important in life. So share away! When you share, we will all be blessed by reading your blessings. 

 

Here’s how this month’s challenge works…

 

Share one of your favorite blessings with us in a 300-word post EVERY DAY between now and Thanksgiving. Only one post per day will be counted towards your challenge entries but, feel free to share as many blessings as you’d like!

 

Enter your posts in the ActiveRain Challenge (Contests) group.

 

Please provide a link to your Thanksgiving post(s) in the comments below - ONE COMMENT, PLEASE! (Please, please post all of your links in ONE comment.) 

 

You will the be blessed with an additional 200 points for each post about a Thanksgiving blessing which you share with us in your daily posts.  (Remember, one post per day only - and up to 10 total days) through Thanksgiving Day. 

 

The posts will be tallied after Black Friday so you have time to get your links entered in the comments section for the challenge through Black Friday.  

 

Remember, posts HAVE to be written/posted one per day. The LAST DAY for sharing posts for the challenge is Thanksgiving Day. But, you will have through Black Friday to get your links to each post shared below in a comment.

**Sold listings, under Contract listings, just listed properties, localism posts and re-blogs DO NOT qualify for this challenge.**

Regardless of the additional points you will receive, this challenge will surely bless you and others. Happy Thanksgiving!

 

BE Grateful

***NOTE: If you don't want to save sharing them all-in-one in the comments below, feel free to post them throughout the 10-day period in a comment for each. However, PLEASE combine them all in one post on Black Friday for me - please!!  No need to delete your earlier individual comments - it's easier to count with all of each member's posts when they are in one comment. Thank you in advance!!***

There's so very much I am thankful for, finding the time to write about it is another story! I do love reading posts of inspiration and gratitude, they are feel-good posts and are contagious, in a good way. 

Just to clarify Debe Maxwell, CRS, do we have to participate all 10 days or is any day we can work it in, okay - just as long as we let you know in one comments at the end?

I have that same issue - MANY weeks, Andrea Bedard! I enjoy the same type of posts. I think it's because they are more personal and from the heart. 

We do NOT have to participate all 10 days - any from 1 - 10 is absolutely fine!
