Thank You for not Complaining

There are 4 weeks until Thanksgiving. I am challenging you to give thanks for something 1,000 times between now and then. The rules are simple; you just have to say thanks for anything. This can actually be thanking someone for something or it can be a thought in your head being thankful that you can walk up stairs.
How this came around… My good friend, Nicole Isler, is reading the book, “The No Complaining Rule,“ by Jon Gordon and we challenged each other to not complain for a week. After a day of realizing how much complaining I actually did, I decided that instead of trying to not do something, I would try to do something that was the opposite. So in the clarity of the early morning, just waking up state, I figured I would give as much thanks as I could. That is when the 4 weeks until Thanksgiving challenge came to mind.
How about you? Will you help me out and give thanks 1,000 times between now and Thanksgiving!
Try it and see what happens. Let me know how it works for you. Post your realizations here on my blog.

Thank you for taking the time to read my idea!

And as always, make it a great day!

Wow!! Just wanted to say that I got this email from Nicole and thought I would practice not complaining. Normally I consider myself to be a positive person who does not complain often. Unfortunatley, due to my current situaion (closing a business, unemployed and broke)I find that I have fallen into a rut and am complaining more. I actually found myself complain about 4 times in the past hour. I've got some work to do :) Thanks for the realization.
