Thankful

I am a little jealous of my US friends as they get to experience that lovely autumnal holiday, Thanksgiving.  It has such a good sentiment to it - one day a year where everyone stops to consider whatever they have to be thankful for.

I am thankful today.  It has been a tough (understatement) week, during which I almost lost everything that is important to me and so today I want to take time to think about what I am thankful for.

I am thankful for being here, in this moment
I am thankful for the man I have by my side, a man who loves me even when I least deserve it and despite all of my messyness.  A man I simply never want to be without in my life
I am thankful for being a part of this family I have inherited
I am thankful for this new day and the opportunity it gives me to start over.  To forget what has gone before, to change what isn't working
I am thankful for beginning this journey to "finding myself" again, to reconnect with the things that make me tick and rediscover the things I am good at
I am thankful for things finally falling into place, for finally seeing things clearly and in perspective
