It's been a little over a week since President Nelson issued a challenge to #givethanks and share gratitude everyday. Many of my friends took on this challenge as well. Suddenly, overnight, my Facebook home feed was filled with gratitude and thanks, for a full week.
For the first day it was just really interesting. On the second day I, sad to admit, got a little annoyed, mainly because I was just feeling lonely and stuff. Silly little things, and I felt selfish for the emotion and worked through it. And for days 3-7 I embraced it and it was just really nice.
There's been a lot of negativity on social media, so having a week of positivity was a really good change.
Some things I was grateful for weren't mentioned like music and stories. But the one thing that I'm most grateful for I didn't share this last week, and that is my family. I'm most thankful for my family.
So after a week of gratitude I hope to carry this on personally. Funny enough I have gratitude journals that I've purchased--more than one!!--and this challenge has motivated me to open the journals up and work through them.
Hope you have a nice Sunday and a good week,
Sarah.
(I didn't create these memes, but they were getting shared on Facebook, and are pretty funny. I don't know who created them.)
