I have been working on this little project since the first of the year and here is Thankful 365 for April. This was an idea that I saw and decided to try it out for myself. In order to cultivate a grateful spirit I have written one positive and specific thought for each day. This will be for an entire year but I will post it at the end of each month.

April 24- Got to show the animals off to a friend today. Their autistic son loved them! It made me happy that he was so taken with them and enjoyed being outside.
April 25- Today I realized that it is entirely possible that I could have ended up childless. I have 3 kids but after a visit to the doctor I fully realized that had I not had children at a younger age time simply would have run out for them. I had a very small window and I took it. I’m so thankful I did!

It was a busy month and as I look into summer it will only get busier. There is just so much that I am thankful for and it increases daily!
Looking for the good and wishing you the best!
