Thankfulness

Last year I made an entry every day about what I was thankful for. I was thinking that I didn't really feel up to it this year and that I wouldn't be online the whole month to do the entries anyway. I wasn't feeling particularly grateful and after thinking about it a little bit I decided that this was probably one of the best things that I could do for myself right now.

I'm going to start the month off for being grateful for healthy eating. I'm grateful for Greenling, where I can have fresh produce delivered to my door every week that is local and organic. While I will absolutely not pay $120 for an organic free-range turkey, I do feel that they give me a good value for what I do buy. I'm also grateful that my girls are picking up good eating habits from watching me and being offered such healthy choices. My husband and I were extremely picky eaters and I'm loving that my girls are willing to eat the fruits and vegetables that I offer them.

I did a quick list of what I was grateful for last year. I don't promise to not have any repeats, but in case you are interested, here it was.
