Counting My Blessings

It has been awhile since I have blogged. I haven't abandoned my "GREEN MOMENTS" I do have to admit they have been few and far between though...

Two months ago I was a serious car wreck. It truly has been an adventure since then...and not a good one. Our car was being worked on....on day 34 the insurance company decided to total it. As they totalled it...we had to look for a new car. As we're looking for a new car, we are finding that with the insurance $$$ we can't afford to purchase something like what we had before.  I've been to chiropractic treatment. 

All this to say....I have NOT been focussing on how to be more green. I wish I had been...but I've been solely in survival mode. I have tried biscuits and gravy (that was a 1st in my life). I've been putting up Christmas decor...which has been a nice distraction. None of this has taken the stress away...although it has helped. What has helped is COUNTING MY BLESSINGS...

I'm excited to say that Juan is on his way home with a car...so we can send the rental car back. Our new car is not the same size as our previous automobile...it is in fact smaller. But I am doing something new this month....counting my blessings everyday. Everyday I write in my "Thankful Journal" 10 things I'm thankful for...

Today I am thankful for:
1. Health
2. My children
3. My husband
4. That no one was seriously injured in that accident
5. Our new Car
6. For good friends who truly care
7. Our jobs....ability to do what I love
8. The wonderful season of Christmas to celebrate all the wonderful things in life including the birth of Jesus
9. My Family!
10. That everyday is a new day...a fresh start and tomorrow I can focus on how to find more "Green Moments"
