12 Days::Make a List

You're here! I'm so glad you made it! I have been looking forward to this. It's so easy to lose the peace when the holidays roll around and I'm excited to be seeking peace this year, along with you.

If you've landed here by accident (perhaps you were searching for a skydiving adventure to give as a gift this holiday season?), or if you just need to be reminded, start by reading this post to learn more about 12 Days of Holiday Peace. This is day one!

Make a list:

You've probably got a ton of lists already in progress. Grocery lists, gift lists, baking lists, to- do lists, Christmas card lists and lists about the lists you've made. Why not take a minute to list the things you're grateful for? 

Make a list and put it where everyone can read it and can add to it. You could stick a piece of paper to your refrigerator with a magnet, or clear a space on your family's message board. Be sure to keep a writing utensil nearby.

Throughout the days of the season, write down what makes you smile. Simple blessings. Things you already have. Invite your family, your friends, your neighbors, the plumber - whoever passes through - to add to the list each day. Watch the list grow through the holidays and find peace in what you already have.
