American Thanksgiving is coming up and there’s an online thing going around where you set a timer for 10 minutes and write what you are thankful for – as many as you can within the time limit.
The idea is that you have so much to be thankful for you’ll run out of time.
It’s easy to focus on the negative in our lives and the world, but doing the 100 Happy Days Challenge helped me to dwell on the positives in my life and around me. I’m always game for another opportunity to look for the great things about life.
I challenge you to take 10 minutes right now and write your own list whether you publish online or not.
