The Thankful Project Day 28: Free Day

I can't believe it's over!! Today is Day 28 of The Thankful Project and it's a free day-post about whatever you want. So first of all, Happy Thanksgiving! I am so excited about the family time and the yummy food I am going to experience in a few hours!

For day 27 of The Thankful Project, our prompt is "a simple pleasure".

This was pretty easy for me to figure out! A simple pleasure that I am thankful for is reading. I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE to read!! I am an introvert, and I think that may have something to do with it. I love to communicate with words and I love that when I read, it's very easy for me to visualize the characters and "see" what it is that I am reading.

Today's Thankful Project prompt is "criticism you've received".

The criticism that stands out the most to me is that "I am very quiet/too quiet and not very outgoing". I have been hearing that I am quiet from at least elementary school and not very outgoing has reared its ugly head as an adult. In the beginning it hurt...a lot and was very difficult for me. To this day, it's still very much a challenge.

Day 24-wow! I can't believe there are only four days left, the time has really flown by! Read more about The Thankful Project here. Today's prompt is "a physical trait you have".

I think this is a very interesting prompt! I have always thought growing up that my sisters are very beautiful -still do to this day! And, I've always been able to point out how other women are beautiful. But as I've gotten older, and this really started during my college years, I've realized my own physical beauty. The traits that I am thankful for are my eyes and my smile.

Today's prompt is "something you've seen". I am thankful that I've had the opportunity to live where my parents grew up.

Today is day 22 of The Thankful Project! Today's prompt is "an expectation".

Today's prompt for The Thankful Project is "something that's easy to take for granted".

Today's prompt is "something about your significant other or best friend".

This guy right here is my boo thang!!

I can't believe there are only 8 days left! There's still time to join the fun! Link up with Kenzie here.

Today's prompt is about "a choice".

Let's see...I think the choice I am most thankful for is when I decided to move to Fort Worth, TX for a job. I had been in conversations with the Lord, had learned to be more grateful for what I already had-I told ya'll about that process here. That was sort of my start at learning how to be more faithful and to trust the plans that had already been laid out for me by Him.

Day 17 of The Thankful Project! Wow the time is really flying!! There's still time to link up here!

Today's prompt is "something you own". Read more about The Thankful Project and link up with Kenzie, there's still time!

Today’s Thankful Project prompt is “an annoyance”. What annoys me…there is a lot that I’ve noticed since A and I have moved in together to save money before the wedding. And I can share this because I’ve told him how much it gets on my nerves so it won’t be a shock to him when he reads this!

Today’s thankful post is about a blessing. I think this is very timely because I’ve been feeling “unblessed” lately, even though my mind and heart know that is not the case. I think that I have a tendency to focus on the negative at times. And right now, my negative is my career because I am not where I want to be or doing something that I love.

Today I decided to highlight multiple abilities that I am thankful for. I thought it would be especially good for me because of what I shared on Day 1 of The Thankful Project. And, I thought it would be cool to do an ability for each year of my life, to remind me that it is a blessing to be here, and that the struggles in this world will not last forever.

Today's post is about an opportunity. I am thankful that I had the opportunity to further my education. My parents always told us for as far back as I can remember that we were going to college. So, when my senior year of high school came, I applied to several colleges and applied for financial aid and that was it! In the fall I started college at the place that is now my alma mater, PVAMU.

Today’s prompt was a little bit more challenging to write because I had to think of something I’ve been taught that I consider to be pretty significant. I couldn’t come up with anything. Nada. And then it came to me.
