Day 25.

Today I am thankful for Morning. I would rather get up at 6am everyday and see the sun rise than stay up late. I have always been a morning person, and I think I will always be. When I was born there was a time when a nurse came into the hospital room early in the morning and had to take my mother's water away, because she couldn't have any more before the c-section for my birth. My mother had had a very hard birth with my brother Andrew and was NOT looking forward to having another baby. but that nurse came in and said "get a drink, sweatheart, it is morning and I have to take your water!" The moment my mother heard morning the song line "Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see. All I have needed Thy hand hath provided; Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!" Ever since then that has been our song. As I watch the sun rise I am thankful for morning by morning new mercies I see and isn't every morning a new mercy?

Today I am thankful for two Andrews. My brother Andrew and Andrew Peterson. My brother introduced me to Andrew Peterson's music. At first I didn't enjoy it at all, but now I don't think I go through a day without listening to his music. I have seen him twice in concert and can't wait to see him again. I have been listening to Andrew Peterson alot lately. These are my favorite lyrics right now.

"So sit down and write that letter

Sign up and join the fight

Sink in to all that matters

Step out into the light

Let go of all that's passing

Lift up the least of these

Lean into something lasting

Planting trees"

Day 11.

The definition of Thankfulness is , Aware and Appreciative of a benefit; grateful.

Let's see. Being aware, that mean knowing what is going on, and then appreciative, that means showing your gratefulness, then of a benefit, which is something that enhances well-being.

So today I plan to be more aware and appreciative of the benefits I have. For example, this table. I am blessed with a table like this every night. This is a benefits to me from my parents. Do you see benefits today in your life? If so, do you say thank you? If not, you might need to start looking!

Day 10.

Because I am still on my break, my mother and I have been watching alot of movies! The other day we watched one of my favorite ones, Desk Set. Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn are the main people. She is named Bunny and works for a resource center, answering questions for people who call in. She is a wealth of knowledge and associates things with numbers. In this movie you learn they are bringing in a Machine to help the girls with finding information, but the girls don't know it is to help them. There are alot of funny parts that make me laugh out loud!! If you need a good laugh you should check out this movie!
