Today I have a lot to be thankful for
Today has been a long day, yet one to cherish.
I am thankful for so many people in my life.
Even for those that challenge me, I feel thankful for the role they play in my own growth and development.
Today was the first time I’ve really done the Thanksgiving meal “on my own”. In previous years, I’ve let my brother do much of the work and stuck to my one traditional job—making the cranberry sauce. I am mentally and physically tired but am also filled with a sense of peace. It felt good to put the time and love into what I made and it was a privilege to share with those I care about.
In some ways, I felt like today I carried on something from my mom. Although nothing could come close to what she used to make, it felt so good to be able to give in thanks to my family and to the man I love.
Tonight, exhausted, I am also filled with gratitude.
