Welcome to another TTT! This week is Thanksgiving in the USA, so I thought a thankful freebie would be fun. This year has been hard for me, so I thought it would be therapeutic to set all that aside for a few minutes and reflect on what’s gone right for me and what I’m thankful for.
1. I am thankful for my mom and my sister. They are my biggest cheerleaders, my confidants, and my best friends. My mom and I laugh together, cry together, and are pretty much the same person. She also takes care of me and is always looking out for what I need.
2. I am thankful for all the other people in my life who pull for me. I’ve been getting some very small health answers and going through many medical tests that I hope will lead to larger answers that will improve my quality of life. I’ve found a couple of those rare people in the medical field who actually care and are trying to help me.
3. I am thankful that I get to live in such a beautiful place! Looking for hints that the seasons are changing is one of my favorite things to do, and we have had great seasons this year!
4. I am thankful for animals, whether they are mine, a friend’s, or a stranger’s on Instagram. They never cease to make me smile.
5. I am thankful for books. I love reading and escaping to new worlds and meeting new people. I have always loved historical romance, but I love it even more now. Social media has become a toxic storm, and I love going back to a simpler time of house parties and balls. I also love fantasy, which always provides the most amazing distraction.
6. I am thankful that I don’t have to worry about where my next meal will come from or where I will sleep tonight. I am so fortunate to have the things I really need.
7. I’m thankful for my education.
8. I’m thankful for music, and the ability I have to connect with it on such a deep level.
9. I’m thankful for my talents of creativity and singing.
10. I’m thankful for my Heavenly Father.
What’s the biggest thing you’re thankful for this year?
Happy Thanksgiving this week to all who celebrate!
And if this is a hard time of year for you, I’m sending you hugs!
