Being Thankful...

Today is a great day to remind each of us what we are truly thankful for. Sometimes it is so hard to really know all the blessings that we have in life until they are in jeopardy or are completely taken away. This is something that I am constantly humbled by.

I am so thankful for the family that I have. I never realized how vital those people are in my life and happiness until I began losing those closest to me. Today I am so grateful that I was able to spend the day with those that I love yet it is also a reminder that there are still those that I love that I can't see or talk to-ever. That is a harsh reality especially on days like today when you want to be with those people. However, it has caused me to really evaluate what and who I value and cherish in my life.

Life is worth so much more than how you look, where you go, or what you can buy. I find joy in days like today where you can just be. Be with those that you love. It is not as if you have to do, say, or go anywhere particular it is just enough to be with each other. Oh, how I love that.

Today was a wonderful day and tomorrow is a day that will contain little sleep, lots of food, shopping, and a great time with some girls celebrating a friend getting married! Life is grand and full of so many blessings.
