I’m thankful for new experiences. I’m grateful to have been able to quash the sometimes panicked voices in my head to overcome whatever the struggle was at the time.
I’m thankful for being able to speak up for myself and others. I’ve learned over the years that if I don’t, I will become resentful and that is not healthy.
I’m thankful that my husband is my biggest cheerleader. If you asked him, he would say the same about me. I understand that isn’t always the case. I’m grateful.
I’m thankful that I’ve never gathered with a group of friends and a fight broke out. If this is a regular occurrence for you, you might want to find some friends who don’t fight.
I’m thankful that I don’t feel the need to go Black Friday shopping, either in person or online. If I get one more email about how I can shop now I’m going to scream.
I’m thankful for true friendship. There’s no further explanation needed.
I’m thankful for great music. Music unites us; no matter your political persuasion, you’re going to move when you hear Lionel Richie’s “All Night Long,” or “Sweet Dreams” by the Eurythmics. (I just watched the Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame)
I’m thankful for peace of mind. I’ve said this before, and it bears repeating. I remember Mom saying this and I never understood it, but believe me I know what she meant now.
I could go on and on, but the point is that we should count our blessings. I find that when I spend more time doing that, I don’t have time to think about what is lacking in my life.
