NaBloPoMo

National Blog Posting Month is set for November. The goal is to write something in your blog, every day. No matter how small and insignificant or boring. I think it's a great idea. I always plan to blog everyday. Sometimes I can't or don't. And I think that knowing that I've committed to writing everyday will make it more of a challenge. Like, 'I have to'. What if I get bored or hate it? What then?

Some bloggers are coming up with themes or a list.

I think that I will write one thing that I am thankful for each day for the month of November. I always write a thankful list every Thanksgiving. For years I had the boys write a list of 5 things they are thankful for and we read them at the table. Sometimes I put the cards in a basket and leave it where everyone can see all the things we are thankful for. It was a great idea for the kids to focus on the important things in life.

Here is a list from Dinky.
