30 Thankful Days in Photos: Day 1

My cousin-in-law, Rachel, had a GREAT idea. She decided to blog for 30 days straight and include a picture each day. She has such cute kids and they are always doing something. She challenged her blog readers to do the same thing. At first I thought there was no way I would do it. What could I possibly blog about that would interest people? Then, throughout the day, I kept thinking of something my little brother said in an email recently: Be grateful more often. So, I've decided to put the two together and blog for 30 days about things I'm thankful for. I think some of my readers may be interested, some won't be, but I'm mostly doing this for myself.
Without further ado, here is what I'm thankful for today:
Autumn.
I love this season. I've lived in several places in the world during autumn. Each place is beautiful. Whenever I'm driving home, I pass a tree. It's a unique tree I haven't seen before I moved here. Its leaves flutter in the wind, making it look like it's on fire. There are more blooming flowers here in autumn than I've ever seen anywhere else before. I love autumn in Germany.

Sounds challenging but you can do it!! :D I loved the picture of fire tree. I remember I saw one like this when I served my mission in Olathe, KS. One tree decided to goes first before others. :D

Okay, this is really old, I know. But I haven't been as good as keeping up with your blog as I'd like. Therefore the late post. Anyway, I think I'm going to try it! Maybe not all photos but gratitude. I think I'll start on Thanksgiving and end on Christmas. So now you know and we'll let everyone else be surprised! Love ya!
