5.) Something you’re thankful for…
Yesterday, I posted about the holidays in general and how I'm already anxious about them. Today, on Thanksgiving, I want to focus in on the things I am thankful for, because I am still thankful.
I am thankful for...
my health. Even though I have been through a lot of things medically in the past 9 months, and all my life. I have my health. My health could effect everything in my life, so I am very thankful that I'm okay.
support. I have seen support in so many ways. Mostly everyone in my life has been super supportive. I am so thankful to have such a huge net of support to catch me when I am falling.
my marriage. After the loss of a child, marriages can really suffer. Adults grieve in different ways and it is hard to grieve together, yet separately. I'm thankful that through the hard times our marriage has gotten stronger, not weaker.
my family. My family is great when it comes down to it. I have family members who will cry with me. I have family members who will listen to my endless rants, and sometimes rant with me. I have family members who know when I just need silence, and will grant that as well. I am thankful for them.
my friends. They are like my family. There are newer friends, who I feel like I have known for years. There are friends who I have known for years, who stand strong by my side. I know I have multiple people who I could call at 1 am, if I needed to, and they wouldn't bat an eye. I am thankful for them.
I am sure I have missed some things, but that doesn't mean I am not thankful for them as well. This post could be a mile long, if I tried to type out every single thing. I just wanted to dedicate one post showing, that through the sorrowful times, I am still thankful.
