I'm Thankful For . . .

Hi Friend,

It’s November and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. In this blog, I wanted to talk about Thankfulness and how it is so needed right now. I hope that this will inspire you to think about what you’re thankful for.

I know many of us have been through a lot the last two years and it may be difficult at the moment to see good. I want to remind you that it is good all around us, we just have to make ourselves more aware of it. That is where thankfulness comes in. When you challenge yourself at the end of the day and ask what are good things that have happened today? When you have a list you realized there is a lot more good that has happened in your day. I want to share now what I’m thankful for.

1. I’m thankful that my faith has grown more. Though growing in faith can be challenging and uncomfortable at the time, it results in knowing the Father more. On a similar note, I was very thankful that I was able to meet in person at church.

2. I’m thankful that I have spent more time with my family. The pandemic taught us all, what really matters.

3. New connections. Because I’ve been looking for a full-time position since graduating from my master’s I’ve connected with so many people on LinkedIn and that has been really cool. It also challenged me to talk to people I haven’t met before which improved my communication skills quite a bit.

4. I’m thankful for nature. I’m thankful for moments when I can go outside and be in nature. Those moments bring so much peace and calm, that is so needed.

5. I’m thankful for books. I know that sounds funny but I absolutely love to read! Reading helps me to learn, which I love to do. I love reading people's perspectives, and all that can teach me which I then can share with you all.

6. I’m thankful for you. I’m thankful for those who have been reading my blogs or posts on social media. I’m thankful that you have given me the opportunity to share with you. I’m so thankful for the community we have. Your support means so much to me.

Friends, I could have listed so much more but I hope this inspires you to make your list of things you are grateful for. I hope this thanksgiving you spend with family and friends around some yummy food! Many blessings friend!
