30 Days of Thankfulness

        Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays ( oh who am I kidding I LOVE every holiday) and the older I get the more I feel like people in general are loosing the true meaning of this holiday. My friend Melanee O'Hagan has begun 30 days of thankfulness on her blog. http://thebestlifeivelived.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html.
       I love the idea, but I felt like perhaps I had missed the boat as it is already almost half way through the month. I was creepily reading through the comments, of complete strangers of course, and found that I wasn't the only one that felt this way. Melanee had the perfect response.
        " No one said the 30 days had to start on the 1st!"
    She has inspired me to to remember the meaning of this holiday, regardless of  individual beliefs, is being thankfull. Not just on Thanksgiving but all our lives long.

Day 1: Today I am thankful for: Laughter
       They say laughter is the best medicine. and I have to agree. Think about when you are in a not so great mood and some one cracks a joke and your hard bad mood, and  you both laugh out loud, sharing joy. One of my favorite things is hearing a baby or a child laugh out of pure excitement and contentment. I love laughter. I love after having a long day coming home with my man and laying in bed laughing about our day and how much we love working together. Try and share some genuine and pure self indulgent laughter!
