Grateful Friday

Grateful is defined by the dictionary as being warmly or deeply appreciative of kindness or benefits received; thankful.

Why am I giving you the definition when I am sure you already know it, you ask? It is a reminder to myself to be more aware of the things I am grateful for than the things that I am not. You see lately I have been struggling, I feel like I am failing when I look at the missing details. It is a real bummer. So I want to just take a moment and be joyful for all of the people and things I am truly blessed with.

I am grateful that I get to stay home with my children.

I am grateful that I get to home school the boys.

I am grateful for my newish red shoes. They make me smile when I put them on.

I am grateful for my husband (yes more than the shoes), he makes our life possible.

I am grateful for online colleges. Who knows how much we would see the husband if he had to go a class for school. I would never have started on my degree if I had to leave my children.

I am grateful to the farmers who work so hard to provide good food to their customers.

I am grateful that I grateful that my children eat a healthy diet.

I am grateful for online reviews.

I am grateful for Netflix, and the ability to watch all of my favorite shows. (I said it. I miss watching my shows. Lent ends in three weeks. Then it is marathon time. Popcorn, Doctor Who Classics and the family. Go ahead judge me. I don't mind.)

I am grateful for good friends and conversations.

I am grateful that you come and visit me from time to time. Thank you, I think you are truly a wonder.

I am grateful. . .

I think making a list of things I am grateful for helps through the low times, and I can move forward knowing that I am truly blessed.

I hope your day is filled with inspiration, love, and laughter. Be well my friends.
