With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I figured now would be a good time for the Biofriendly Blog to cover some reasons to be thankful. I know most of us are thankful for the many people, opportunities and things we have in our lives, but I wanted to share these 50 reasons I have to be thankful. If you’d like to share some of your own reasons, I would LOVE to hear them in the comment section below, on our Facebook page or on Twitter.
I am thankful for:
- The sun that shines
- The wind that blows
- The waves that lap upon the shore
- The sand beneath my feet as I walk upon the beach
- The trees that provide shade and beauty
- The flowers that bloom every spring
- The grass that grows so plentifully
- Mother Nature always doing her thing
- The beauty of the world in which we live
- The stars that shine at night
- The moon that brightens the evening sky
- The opportunity to write and share my passions with others
- My family, their love and their never-ending support
- My husband and my two wonderful children
