November is fantastic! The home stretch is in view and we should be sure to take account of the year and especially those people, lessons, and experiences that we need to show gratitude for. Some thoughts to kick start your mind…
Anything new in 2018?
Friendships, career changes, schools, homes, vehicles, trips, and yes, new arrivals! (I have some friends that have new babies or grandbabies — and oh my, that is the best thing to be thankful for!)
Any lesson that has stuck with you?
How you handle transition? What you need to be the best version of yourself (sleep anyone)? How do you learn the best? What is your greatest teacher?
Anything painful that is stretching you?
Yep, I think we have to be thankful for those things too… annoying I know!
Anything that has brought you true joy?
Pets? Friends? Experiences? A simple conversation? A lunch date with your favorite friend?
This list could honestly go on and on. I sit here and begin to reflect on ALL that has filled the last 10 months, and I am literally AMAZED by the blessings and gifts this year has brought. I will be honest and say it has been pretty hard as well, but even the tough parts are deep with meaning, serving as a part of my journey that I respect and appreciate.
I hope you will take some time to begin a month long process of identifying what those things are to you. I feel you will truly be blessed by what one year can bring. I am prayerful that you will find yourself with a big grin and a heart full of the magic of this life, knowing you are fully loved and fully in the process of achieving your purpose.
