I have so much to be thankful for. Sure, life gets crazy sometimes; I have locked myself in the bathroom for about 5 minute or so to get a moment of Zen in the past (it happens less frequently now). There are ups and downs and meltdowns too.
But I know I have FAR MORE blessings than I can count and far more than those difficult times. Let me share some of the blessings I recognized this year...
I am thankful for "cause" and "effect". Along the way, I always learn something...

I am thankful for ENTHUSIASM. It reminds me that I should be excited about the little things and enjoy the moment...

Although, I am thankful for stillness too. When I take time to do so, I can see the sweet and wonderful things in my life more clearly...

I am thankful for HOPES & POSSIBILITIES. They keep me going through the tough times. I will look ahead and wonder about the possibilities, and hope for the best.

Above all, I am thankful for the Gospel and our Lord Jesus Christ. They glue us together as a family and show us how to live in these uncertain times.
I hope everyone will have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones.
