Thanksgiving-The list of things I am NOT grateful for this time of year

I know this time of year typically we reflect and ponder on the many things we have to be grateful for.  I try to be mindful of my many blessings every day. Every day- not just one time yearly when I am reminded by everything I see telling me to be grateful.  So, I am switching it up this year and thinking of things I am NOT grateful for.  To be honest, it feels good!

• Time change-I know and understand how it came to be.However, that doesn’t make it any easier when it’s only 5:30 PM and my mind is telling me that it’s close to 10 PM, and I need to get ready for bed.
• Cox Cable and their updating to all digital and making us get those little boxes by December 1st or risk losing the ability to watch TV without it.Also for charging $2.99/monthly for additional boxes that we may need to watch their cable in other rooms of the house.
• All of the political ads and mudslinging-it’s going to be a looong year…..
• Intolerance and whining-it’s gone too far.
• Bruce Jenner-AKA Caitlyn Jenner, the Kardashians, and Kanye West-enough said about that.
• Miley Cyrus-again, enough…

The things we are not grateful for during the year-the petty annoyances, the “one more things” that we deal with-only reinforce the good things we experience and make those times sweeter.  Enjoy your times-good and bad-the grateful for and the un-grateful for-because that is what makes the spice of YOUR life.

Happy Thanksgiving
