The Thankful Challenge (WIAW)
Hallelujah for beautiful days!
Since yesterday was November 1st, I am going to try and challenge myself on the blog a little bit for the entire month.
Since Thanksgiving is coming up in a few weeks, I would like to post something I am thankful for with every post during the month of November.
I am hoping that this challenge will help me to even further appreciate the little things in life, and encourage others to do the same. There are so many overlooked blessings, and I would love for them to stop being overlooked! I am a true believer that those who focus on the good, positive things, are, by far, the happiest, and most content people. So what am I thankful for today?
Sunshine!
“If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you’ll never enjoy the sunshine.”
Morris West
So will you also take this challenge, and be thankful for one, specific thing every day throughout the month of November? Be thankful, and let the sun shine!
All this sunshine is sure making me happy! These are all welcome signs considering over the weekend, I saw scenes like this! Oh snow!
And now… onto WIAW a la Jenn!
I have been a bad blogger, and do not have photos of half of my day’s eats… but we are going with what I have! 
Breakfast!
I have been out of protein powder, and my shipment came in last night. I was so excited, so I obviously had to start my day off with Super Chocolatey Protein Oats! (those portions x2 )
Random Meals / Snacks of the last couple days
Sweet Potatoes, cottage cheese, green beans and almonds, fresh green beans and broccoli, spaghetti squash.. yum

I love this idea. There are so many things to be thankful for! I actually started a post this morning about what I am looking forward to this month/trying to stay positive, which goes along with this idea. The best thing that I ate this week was by far my birthday cake.
That’s so awesome!
And Birthday cake is ALWAYS the best!
It really is so important ot remember that you have many things to be thankful for… every single day
I am thankful for my mom’s support today, I needed it! The best thing I ate this weekend was a snickers..haven’t had one in soooo long
What would we do without our mommas??
But ah that sounds awesome!
I love this, such a great idea! I agree positive thoughts=happy life. After all, life is what you make it
You are SO right!
I love your idea of posting something that you are thankful for every day. Today I am thankful for Pandora. I have been listening to a new station every day at work and it has been making the time just fly! I am so much more productive with music.
Love this ! I’d be lost without Pandora too!
I used to keep a gratitude journal where I listed 3 things I was grateful for each day and why. It was a really nice way to appreciate things more. Today I’m thankful for my brother, because he sends hilarious text messages out of the blue that brighten my day.
That is awesome!
I love the sunshine in the photos…that first shot is sooo pretty! and love your thankful list, too!
Thanks!
I can’t believe that there’s snow on the ground already! It’s gonna be a crazy winter. Mmm your dinner looks amazing

Awwww <3 BEST COMMENT EVER! <3
It’s so important to remember what we are thankful for during this time of the year. It’s easy to lose sight of what’s important. I’m thankful for the cooler weather right now and that Starbucks got their red cups back. Starbucks red cups = holidays = family = love love love!
Nice pictures! I’m def going to try to be more thankful this month!
All your eats look yummy…as always!
