Today as I was listening to the radio doing my daily drive to town to pick up kids from school, I heard a lady talk about doing a thankfulness challenge for November. As I listened to it I thought that might be a great way to keep me out of my depressed funk I’ve been in the last few weeks. I thought maybe it would challenge me even more to post my blog daily about the thing I’m thankful for. To have a better guide going about this, I searched pinterest for a thankfulness challenge. This list will help me do more than the general thankful for my kids, family, or weather. The normal easy things to find to be thankful for. Here is what I found:

So today being November 1st, I am to say a smell I am thankful for. I love the smell of fall. Fresh fallen leaves along with the cooler air is so refreshing for my lungs and nose to smell. I also love the smell of wood burning stoves in the air from our neighbors. There is such a unique smell to fall and I absolutely love to walk outside and take a long sniff and enjoy that fresh cool smell.
What about you? What smell are you thankful for? Do you also like the smell of fall and fallen leaves?
Tomorrow I am looking forward to having my sister in law from out of town over for a campfire and we will thoroughly be enjoying all those smells which roasting our hot dogs and s’mores.
Thank you Lord for the fresh smell of fall, for the beautiful colors and the lovely slow falling leaves from the trees surrounding me. Thank you for the smell of wood burning stoves that bring back memories of my childhood and the stove my dad always had blazing in the fall and winter.
Thankfulness scripture
Psalm 107:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.
I would love to know if you are reading this and going to join me on my thankfulness journey through November. Please comment below if you are going to join me. I will post this thankfulness challenge list daily so we can follow along together!
Signing off from one woman to another.
