30 Days of Thanks Is Taking Over The World

Unless you live under a rock or do not have access to Facebook, you have seen some form of the "30 Days of Thanks" floating around web-land.
It's a simple concept... You think of things to be thankful for and list them.
One for every day of the month.

I've seen some cute ideas on blogs.
I have a few friends listing their "thankful things" on Facebook.
I have one pal who made a little construction paper tree with "thankful leaves" attached.
My friend, J, has a blank list for her people to write on. (She has a lot of people.)

And then there's Pinterest.
Don't get me started.
I didn't linger for too long because I was sure to see a real tree with twinkly white lights transplanted into somebody's house... covered with handmade leaves sewn out of beautiful fabric... with each leaf bearing a thankful item hand-stitched into it.

Have I mentioned I have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest?

So we are being thankful this month, and we are using the chalkboard already on the wall. I'm crafty like that.

I let the boy go first, and so far the only thing on our wall is "food."
Well. You can't say we don't have our priorities straight around here.

What are y'all thankful for?

I'm gonna tell ya right now, I'm thankful I'm not the only one with a love/hate relationship with pinterest. If I spend much time on there, it makes me feel uncreative, unproductive and inadequate. I've only been on lately to look up recipes because of the "you're not cool enough" taunts it shouts. I AM COOL! At least my kids think so. Sometimes.
