Be thankful, not only today but every day. We often forget to be thankful for the little things in our lives, so today especially I propose we take the extra second to do that. I challenge you to write a list of as many things as you can think of to be thankful for. Everyone's list will be different and that is what makes them each so beautiful.
Here is a list of 101 thingsI'm thankful for, but all too often take for granted.
