The Things I Am Grateful For

The things I am grateful for 

So I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Every year during dinner, we go around the table, and everyone must say what they are thankful for. And of course, I also needed to speak about what I am grateful for in this blog.

If you follow me or know me, you know I am grateful for all things in my life. 

I am even grateful for the bad times as well because I have learned things from those times.

I hope you can all make your own gratitude list so you can see what you have, and how much you've been blessed. You need to take a moment to give thanks and not just on Thanksgiving. 

So every day this is what I give thanks for.

1. The first thing on my list is God.

I am so grateful for him because, without him, I wouldn't be here or wouldn't be sane. He is always at the top of every list for me.

2. My girls.

They are my life and my heart. I am so proud of these two smart, kind, beautiful women. I am so glad and grateful to be their mom.

3. Our health.

We need to work on our health every day, but it could be another way, but before the grace of God...goes I. 

I know it is all him who gives us this gift of health.

4. My family and friends.

I am blessed to have many friends who are now my family. I never take a friendship for granted. I don't have a big family, so I am grateful to those who are still here.

5. I am grateful for all I have.

My home, my business, even when I had a broken-ass car I was grateful that I wasn't walking. But God was good and gave me a new one. I now am grateful for everything because I know people are praying for all I have. So I never take any of it for granted.

6. My church.

I know God brought me there and this place and these people saved my life, literally. I never knew a place like this, and I know that God speaks through my Bishop to me, about things I need to hear when I need to hear them.

7. Heartbreak.

Yes, I am grateful for heartbreak because if I didn't know about heartbreak, I would have stayed in certain situations. If I didn't know about heartbreak, I wouldn't have found a prince who taught me the lessons I needed to move on, even if it wasn't with him. What I've learned from him is to expect men to do the right things, and I've learned self-worth and self-respect and that I deserve it all.

8. Betrayal.

Yes, this has taught me valuable lessons, like everyone doesn't have your heart. Even the ones you love can turn on you but you still have to have love and forgiveness for them...but from afar.

9. Pains in life.

Yes, I say it all the time. I am grateful for the pain in my life. It has made me who I am. It made me strong. It taught me valuable lessons, and it has made me appreciate the good times that much more! I no longer say this is happening to me but this is happening for me, what is the lesson I need to learn?

10. Everything.

Yes, I am grateful for everything. The trees, the birds, a sunrise, the breeze at the beach. A child laughing, a couple holding hands, an elderly person's wisdom. All of these things that I experience every day I am grateful for. 

So today, my friends always remember that this journey we are on is limited, and we must make the best of it while we are here. 

How do you want to spend your time here? 

What mark do you want to leave? 

That you were ungrateful, unforgiving, unkind, and that nothing you had made you happy? That you were negative, that you placed blame on everyone? 

Or do you want to wake up every morning with a smile on your face, giving thanks? Being kind, forgiving, positive, and loving?

I know my choice and it's a choice I choose, every day.

Like I say at the end of every blog, only you can be the change you want to be.
