Take Note, Give Thanks

I was reading an old co-worker's blog today and saw that she is doing The Gratitude Challenge sponsored by a website, tiny prints. I started to look at the website, http://www.gratitudechallenge.com/ and read all about the challenge and decided I wanted to do it as well. With all of the stress I have been under lately, with looking for a job, being so broke, and being so far away from all of my friends and family it was hard for me to see the good side of my life and be thankful for the thing in my life that i DO have! So I have decided to take the challenge and I will posting on the blog about it every day(that is my goal at least) That way I have it all in one place and can look back and reflect on it once it is all over. Plus I am hoping it might inspire others to take the challenge as well.

So Day 1....I am supposed to explain why I accepted the challenge(which I just did) and what I hope to achieve from it.
My goal by the end of this is to see the good things in my life, and realize that no matter what may be going wrong or what I may think is missing in my life...God has given me many things to be grateful for and it is up to me to notice those things/people and cherish them.

On a little side not...I finally got a job!!! I am going to be a nanny for 3 little boys, twin 3 year olds and an 11 month old. I met them and their mother on Monday and they are so cute!!! I start on Tuesday and will be watching them 5 days a week. This is only a temporary position, through the end of November. Which I think is perfect because by that time I will probably be begging for a break from children : ) plus that is right around the time that we will most likely be moving to Charlotte.

That's it for now...hope everyone enjoys the next 21 days of my posts through this challenge.
