Thankful Thursday!! What are you thankful for?

Good day!!!! It's Thankful Thursday!!!!

What are you thankful for today? Me, well, I woke up wrong. Have you ever experienced that feeling? You wake up, and something seems off, not quite right? Well, that was me this morning. I just didn't feel right. But in that moment, I allowed myself to feel it, understand it, and take it apart. I refused to leave my bed until I had dealt with this heaviness.

I started realizing that I was stressing about everything. Business, bills, kids, etc. So, I asked myself, "Can you control what you are stressing about? Are you doing everything you can to make a difference? My answer was no; I couldn't control it, and yes, I was doing everything I could. So what's next??? I didn't know, so I felt stuck, like I wasn't going to be able to shake the feeling off.

I closed my eyes and started talking to God out loud. I probably looked crazy if anyone could see me, but I did it anyway. When I was done, I was reminded of all the things I had to be thankful for despite the troubles. Running a business is not an easy task, and some days seem so dark and stressful, yet I am still thankful that I am even able to be in this position. I am thankful for having life, and my kids are healthy and happy. I have a home and food. I have all of my needs and some of my wants. I was reminded that things could be worse.

As I allowed my thoughts to focus on the things I am thankful for, I began to feel light. I was chopping away at that heaviness. So, I ask you what you are thankful for? Remind yourself of the good even when you are in the dark. We all possess a light; we just have to learn to turn it on even when it seems impossible!
