After taking a ten-day break from social media, I am returning to the Ten Things of Thankful blog refreshed and recommitted to maintaining a better balance in my life. Thank you to all who joined the blog hop last week; I was excited to catch up on your posts, and glad to see a new participant, too!

Ten Things of Thankful: Unspoken and Otherwise

I'm composing this post quickly on October 6th, and scheduling it to publish on the 12th. Some of you know that I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Tonight, at the women's session of General Conference, President Nelson challenged us to take a 10-day fast from social media. I'm starting my fast on the morning of Sunday, October 7th. 

The church certainly recognizes the great tool technology is, but it can also be a great distraction, and I'm looking forward to seeing how my life is different in the 10 days I'm off. 

You are certainly welcome to join me in the break, but I also wanted to make sure the link to the TToT was up for those who want to participate. 

I'm thankful for you, and I look forward to linking up with you again after the fast!

Ten Things of Thankful: October is Here!

Aren't you thankful for Octobers? Looking out my window right now, I see red leaves of sumac, and just-starting-to-yellow aspen leaves. The clouds above the mountains are dark, and if the weather forecast is to be believed, we will have more thunder and lightening and rain tonight--probably right as this post is published. I love the coziness of autumn.

Whether or not you enjoy this season, I hope you will join us in another week of the Ten Things of Thankful blog hop. Read what the other bloggers have posted, comment, and share in this thank-fest! 😊

Sometimes it is hard to see summer go, but I hope that you are experiencing the eye-opening thankful heart. Gratitude really does change one's perspective, as those who have joined us in this weekly blog hop can attest.

Ten Things of Thankful: 9/21/2018

While looking online for quotes about thankfulness, I came across this one:

“Every morning, I wake up and think about 10 different things I’m thankful for, and I continue to spread that love throughout the day, always visualizing, meditating, and growing.” – Shameik Moore

I'm not familiar with the actor--grandmas are probably not his target audience--but I thought his sentiment tied perfectly into this blog's purpose. 

What are you thankful for today? (And if anyone knows Shameik Moore, feel free to invite him to this blog hop!)

The news this week has been filled with reflective reports of the anniversary of 9/11,  speculative dialogue about the amount of rain and damage that Hurricane Florence will bring, as well as coverage of the latest political tweets. No matter what is going on around us, though, we can find things to be thankful for. Won't you join us?

Last weekend might have been the traditional hurrah to summer, but the season isn't officially over yet. Regardless of whether you are a summer-holder-onner, or a autumn-welcomer, there are plenty of reasons to be thankful. Come tell us about your trip to the beach, how much you love all things pumpkin, or anything else that you are thankful for!
