Gratitude

As I sit quietly and enjoy my morning coffee, I reflect on all of the blessings and challenges I’ve faced.

2020 was not an easy year for anyone. No one expected a pandemic. No one expected that we would run out of toilet paper, wipes, and hand sanitizer.

Despite all of the challenges and unforeseen circumstances, I am grateful for each of them. Why? Because each challenge helped me to:

• Grow as a person (mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend)
• See things from a different perspective
• Continue to develop my character
• Learn humility
• Love God and people first

Each challenge also taught me that I must live my purpose and create the life that I want for my family and me.

Today…

I am grateful for this year because I am developing the best version of myself.

I am grateful for my husband and daughter because they keep me grounded. They are my rocks!

I am grateful for my mom because I get to spend time with her and my aunts.

I am grateful for my brother and his family because we grow together.

I am grateful for my husband’s children because they taught me the value of bringing two families together.

I am grateful for my job because I can work from home.

I am grateful to technology because it keeps me connected to family and friends near and far.

I am grateful for my tribe because they are my support system.

I am grateful for my immune system because it keeps me healthy.

Let gratitude strengthen us! Today, I invite you to take a few minutes to write 10 blessings and why you are grateful for each of them.
