I am grateful for all of the things I’ve encountered in life, the good AND the bad.
I’m grateful for the things that have made me who I am. I have a lot of improvements to make, but for now I’d like to focus on the things that are positives:
- My family & friends who have been there for me many years
- My kids and their personalities making them uniquely who they are
- My husband who puts up with me every single day
- My kitty who has been last on the list for many years and still loves me
- Summer days outside
- Night time cuddles with Mikey
- Mass in masks (I’ll take it)
- A place to call home and food on the table
- Memories
- Outlets like writing that helps me cope with life
- Road trips
- Cooking
- Sweets & treats (making everything feel a little bit better)
- Seeing cousins play and have the time of their lives
- Simple joys like handwritten cards, spur of the moment visits, inspirational memes, hugs, thank yous and how you doings.
I’m sure there’s more but today I just need to remind myself that there’s still a whole lot of positive in the midst of grief. There’s life to live every single day. I intend to live it. I just need to get back on track. The devil wants to bring us down and it’s been happening to me a whole lot lately. God protects and He fights for me.
THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU; YOU NEED ONLY BE STILL. Exodus 14:14
