I issued this challenge the other day on my Daily affirmations of Gratitude post. I invited you all to start a gratitude list this week, Monday through Friday, listing 20 items per day for a total of 100 by Friday. I invited you to journal them, put them in a Word document or list them daily in the comments of my 30 Days of Thanksgiving blog posts. If you missed the announcement you can do one of two things–start today and have 60!! items on your list by Friday or start today and double up to still get to 100. Win-Win either way.

Sleep – that’s a good theme! Thank God for an early night last night!
Every year, my goal is to get my Christmas gifts wrapped early. “Wrap as you go,” I’ve heard is good advice. But I have yet to be successful … Maybe this year, but I’m not holding my breath! I am glad you got to sleep in a bit! 🙂
