So Much To Be Thankful For.

Life Is so much better when we count our blessings rather than quantify our troubles. 

Hi Bob,
It seems our blessings are endless. Some people overlook the small things, but even the small things are big... especially when we lose them. I hope you do the 365 days of blessings. When we do that, we discover all the little things for which we are grateful.

I will be 75 in 2 1/2, and I want to put out a list of 75 things I've learned in my life. That shouldn't be too hard, but maybe I'd better start now. 

Seize the day and enjoy each and every blessing that comes your way.  PS - I am not a fan of the dermatologist.  They always seem to find something on my old body.

Thank you, Bob "RealMan" Timm, for sharing your thoughts on gratitude and the power of reflection. Your commitment to creating a daily thankfulness list is inspiring, and it's a wonderful reminder to recognize even the small blessings in our lives.

Good evening Bob,

I love your list of things you are grateful for and you are so right..there are so many if we just put a pen to it and start writing! 

Hi Bob you know I'm a fan of having a grateful list whether it's in my mind or written down either one  works for me.  Good for you for taking it on this next year writing them all down.......day 1 to day 365......on your mark, get set, get started!

Hi Bob- I like the idea of making a list and adding at least one thing each day. Think about it...if we can't find one thing to be grateful for each day..we need to rethink what we're doing. 

Bob "RealMan" Timm  I have always been grateful for what we have and not just in November but every day all year long, so with that said one of the reasons I have not participated in this years AR Challenge, but wrote enough posts to qualify for the points:)Endre

Hello Bob - I remain thankful for list-making even when that includes who's naughty or nice.  Not to dwell on the negative but there's certainly a combination of it. Happy Thanksgiving Day in advance.  

I am sure that Joe is also glad that the list didn't get chewed up, especially since I recall other things being chewed up by them, haha.

Good morning, Bob... I love that list you provided. And it's total proof that the smallest things in our life are also great blessings to be grateful for.

Bob,

The list reflects all those little things most people take for granted. It is a wonderful list. It's the little things that have the largest impact. Thanks for sharing the list. Have a special Thanksgiving.

Writing down one thing a day for a year would result in a very impressive list!

Good morning Bob. Must say I have been giving thought to making notes lately. The idea was reinforced earlier this morning reading a post by Margaret Rome. And now, another poke in the ribs from you. While I might not do it daily, If I start it may develop into daily or occasionally more than one note a day. Thanks! Enjoy your day.

Remember the song from White Christmas that Bing Crosby sang about falling asleep counting your blessings?  Now that it is the 1st of December, I can watch that and feel like the holiday season is off to a good start! 

Oh, I love your list, Bob! One thing that jumped out at me is making someone laugh until they cry each day - my hubby does just that! In fact, I think his sense of humor is one of the things that stole my heart when I met him! 

Thank you again for participating in this month's challenge!

Hi Bob:

I love that gratitude list, and what struck me is that we can, and should, be grateful for the smallest things that happen to us, and the acts of kindness we can share with others. Even a smile or simple thank you can mean so much and it's something we can be thankful for, and might the recipient!

I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Jeff

I have been thinking about making a list in a journal of all the reasons why I love my wife, one each day, and to give it as a gift for her birthday on year. I like your gratitude list, it is a similar idea.
