I'm not a writer by any means but this morning I woke up with thoughts in my head that fought their way out through my fingers and ended up being digitally recorded (or whatever you call it). Anyway, I thought I'd share..... constructive criticism only, please..... the Effexor has just started kicking in!
I AM THANKFUL!
I am thankful for having had parents who introduced me to faith, for it has sustained me through difficult times.
I am thankful my parents taught me to save for a rainy day and we were able to maintain through 9 months out of work.
I am thankful for my husband's patience, kindness and respect he shows me every day.
I am thankful that, through the unfortunate circumstance of unemployment, I was able to spend Christmas and other quality time with my mother in the months before she passed away.
I am thankful for my sister who has helped me recognize, respect and cherish our differences.
I am thankful she and her husband have let me share in the raising of their family, sharing their accomplishments and sorrows, filling that void in my life.
I am thankful for my extended family who are further proof of the bond of "blood" being thicker than anything else.
I am thankful for reconnecting with a few of my dearest friends whose lives haven't exactly been a bed of roses but are survivors through and through.
I am thankful for all of the others who have come into and gone out of my life, for you have helped make me who I am.
Today I give thanks for the good and the bad. I believe that it's all for a purpose even if we don't recognize just what that purpose is! May you all be able to reflect and feel the blessings of this day.
