This month, my challenge to myself has been to say a prayer of just gratitude every day. That’s right. Sometimes I do this while I’m driving some place. For example, my drive to school is about 25 minutes long. Sometimes I challenge myself to do the entire drive to school just saying my prayer of gratitude. So far, just in this past week of doing this challenge, I’ve noticed how these prayers of gratitude strengthen me. They truly put things into a whole new perspective. What I mean by that is that I start to dig deeper to find the things I’m grateful for because after 20 minutes of thinking about this, it really starts to sink in. It has started to help me see my blessings in a different light. (I’ll explain more about this in a follow up post)

I’m also challenging myself (and I’ll be honest…this one has been harder already) to write and send a thank you card every day. I love sending cards, so I’m looking forward to continuing this as well.

Feel free to join along!
