Thankful Thursday Link-Up #3

November 21, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello dear friends! I am a bit under the weather…I can’t quite kick this awful headache and sneaky sore throat that seem to surface and sideline me just when I need to get things done. I suppose there is really no convenient time to feel sick though, right? πŸ˜‰

I still wanted to do the #30daysofthanks challenge link-up though since I’ve really enjoyed reading the posts that have been linked the past two weeks (here and here).

30 Days of Thanks Challenge on Diary of a Semi-Health Nut

 

I will keep this short and sweet so I can retire to the couch and just include today’s day of thanks.

Today, day 20, I posted on my Facebook page how I’m thankful for the cloudy days since they show me how truly great the sun is. This is more than just a literal statement, although I do love me some sunshine! It’s those days that we feel down or even have a nagging headache that remind us how good things really are on the good days. We need the dark to appreciate the light.

So feel free to comment below about what you are thankful for or link-up your Thankful Thursday posts!

As always, I am so thankful to have you here and wish you many blessings today for the rest of your week! <3

    Awww, I hope you feel better soon, girlie!! I love a good rainy, cloudy day once and awhile just because I love weather changes but you’re very right, it helps us appreciate the bright, sunshine, happy moments of our lives even more. πŸ™‚

    Ugh, it’s that time of year for colds and the flu, right?! (knock on wood I don’t get sick). On that note, I’m thankful for green tea & lemon because of the copious amounts I drink when I don’t feel good, and always make me feel better quicker.

      Oh yes tea is the best! I should start adding lemon to my tea because I know there are a lot of benefits!!
