Counting My Blessings In November

November is the time to count our many blessings - name them one by one.


Last year I had a blessing for each day of November and kept track of them here.  I want to do it again, but I realize I may not get to post everyday, so keeping a list might be more doable for me this year.  I want to look at each day and name at least one blessing from that day.  Something that happened or affected me on that day and not just in general.  It can be so easy to igore those little blessings in our day, but sometimes it is the little blessings that can make the biggest impact. 
November 1 - A blessing of clothing.  Today I switched out my closets from spring/summer wear to fall/winter wear.  I got out all my sweaters and long sleeve shirts.  Some I realized I wasn't really interested in anymore.  I started making piles and found that I had 3 bags full of clothes I no longer wanted or needed.  I loaded them into my van to drop off at Goodwill tomorrow.  It is a relief to have that job done, as it sounds like the cold weather is arriving tomorrow.  Maybe tomorrow will be a sweater day!
