Introducing....Thoughtful Tuesday

I once had the grandiose idea that I would start a blog and post something each day that I was thankful for, or for something I had done to "pay it forward" that day.

365 days is a lot. I admire those people who blog about something each and every day--and I so wish I had been more diligent about writing in my paper journal growing up. But hindsight is 20/20, right? So instead of saying "I wish I should have, or I wish I could have...." I am just doing something. 

Each Tuesday, I'm going to tell you about something I am either: a) thankful for, b) something I witnessed that was an act of kindness, or c) something I did to "pay it forward"


I'd love it if you'd join me. One day a week. One thing. It can take 15 seconds or 4 hours. Don't you feel better when you are able to notice the pretty things in life? Leave a comment here, or share it in your own space, and enjoy being thoughtful...in more ways than one!

This Tuesday: Thankful.

Thankful that I started blogging. What I thought was a simple decision three years ago, has been such a monumental "thing" in my life. To be able to look back on thoughts, re-read supportive comments, not to mention the ah-ma-zing friendships that have developed because of it. And I love the fact that this blog will always be the "pair" of jeans that will always be the perfect fit.

    Of course, Thoughtful Thursdays involve a different kind of thoughtfulness, thinking hard about sometimes difficult questions.

    Good luck with the new endeavor.

  7. Thankful that the kids grew and are able to go to kindergarten. When I look back at those pictures from the NICU, I remember how scared I was that we wouldn't reach this point.

There is nothing like a good pair of jeans; they shape us, support us and make us look our best. I'd love for you to share your jeans with me!
