Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
To be honest, this time of year always leaves me feeling soft and raw and open in all the worst ways. The holidays just aren’t the same without the people we have lost over the last few years. But those soft, vulnerable moments are where grace sneaks in places gratitude into our hearts.
This year, I am thankful for a lot on Thanksgiving. First and foremost, I am thankful for my people. My family, my friends, Justin and his family—the ones who deal with me on an every day basis and still think I’m interesting and laugh at my bad jokes.
I am thankful for my hobbies. Photography, writing, knitting, scrapbooking... And lately I’ve been obsessed with Sudoku puzzles. I would be nowhere without my creative outlets, both the ones I try to monetize and make a living off of and the ones I do solely for myself and my loved ones. (Because nothing says “I love you” like “Hey I made this for you!”) Creativity is my passion in life and I will never grow bored of pursuing my passions.
I am thankful for love. And grace. And hope. And joy. And purpose. And faith. And forgiveness. Without all of these things, my life would be a lot smaller for sure.
Thanksgiving. Here’s to the little things in all of our lives. They turn everything we have into enough.
