Today I am thankful. I'm thankful for a husband who is honest with me and loves me, who doesn't shy away from telling me both the good and the bad. A husband who loves me enough to help me be a better person.
Today I am thankful for good memories and the friends who helped me make those memories. I am thankful for the laughter, the tears, the hugs, the adventures, and all the stuff in between. Thankful I can recall those memories at any moment and feel them wrap me up in the biggest virtual/imaginary hug that exists.
Today I am thankful. Despite all the hurts, despite so many uncertainties, despite frustrations and disappointments, despite the gray clouds gathering on the horizon, I am thankful. Despite the voices in my head yelling at me that everything is about to fall apart, I am thankful.
In this moment of so many overwhelming emotions and terrifying fears, in this moment of crushing despair and heart-wrenching sadness, I choose to see the things of beauty all around me. I choose to see the sun hiding behind the ominous clouds. I choose to see the mercy and grace that have ruled my life in generous abundance. I choose to see the love that is all around me and I am thankful.
