Life as Thank You 49

November Gratitude Stone 14 Habitually
Ps 34:1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. They say it takes 21 days to make a habit and then 6 weeks to make it stick. While I have found that to be usually true, I really think it takes a commitment to a routine…

Life as Thank You 48
This is the only posthumous thank you note I am writing this year for obvious reasons; you can’t actually tell someone “thank you” after they are dead, so bless them while you have the opportunity. Having said that, I can’t help but thank the man who shared my life for over 30 years and in…
