I'm thankful for my job. This is the one that I've had a really hard time admitting to be thankful for these days. Management has changed and my job has basically tripled in requirements which makes me leave most nights feeling completely unaccomplished and unsuccessful. But, I have a job; it pays my bills; I'm thankful.
I'm thankful for friends who are not conditioned by the number of miles that separate us. Said friends know the perfect time to send texts, articles, movies, quotes (like the one to the right), and encouragement. We may not talk every day but each time we do, we pick right up where we left off. I'm so thankful for phones, and webcams (if that's even a thing anymore) so I can see some of my most treasured friends when it's just not realistic to travel hundreds of miles (if I ever win the lottery, this will become a non-issue!)
I'm thankful for my boyfriend - he puts up with me, enough said. No, but really. I'm so thankful for the circumstances that have occurred in each of our lives to bring us to where we are now. I'm not sure what the future holds, but I'm super excited for it.
I'm thankful for Jesus. I'm thankful for His unending and unwavering love, even when I don't deserve it. He continually blesses me, guides me, strengthens me and challenges me. I know He has put me where I am in life for a reason; it's my duty to embrace it.
I'm thankful for The Anchor Church which blesses me weekly with encouragement and accountability. The friendships that have formed because of this church have been incredibly overwhelming. I don't know where I would be if Anchor didn't welcome me with open arms.
So, while life my be absolute chaos, I'm beginning to accept it. I'm trying to embrace the busy and remain optimistic. Seems like it's a constant battle but I'm so thankful for this life.
Thankful is a good place to be. Love you my dear friend.
