I meant to write a thankful post before Thanksgiving, but given my enormously busy schedule...it didn't happen. With that said, here it goes.
I am thankful for everything; absolutely everything that has ever happened to me. I mean every word of that sentence, too. I am thankful for every little cold, every stubbed toe, every bad hair day, every pimple, every snowy day, every spider on the ground (that one is really tough for me), every stressful day, every up-all-nigh with sick kids, every argument, every tormenting decision, and so on and so forth.
I am of course thankful for all of the good things as well, but those things are easy to be thankful for. Sometimes it's hard to see the good that comes from the not-so-good in our lives. I try to remember that as difficult as it is.
I am mostly thankful for this life I have to live. I am thankful for a mostly healthy body with which I can do the things I love. I am thankful to be able to wake up to a new day with new adventures and new hardships. I am thankful for my ability to have children and to watch them grow. I am thankful to have the ability to learn and progress and to be ever-changing.
As hard as it can be, this is a good life and I am blessed, blessed beyond words.
