Being grateful is something I struggle with on regular basis. Unfortunately, I’m one of those people who see the glass as half empty instead of half full. In that struggle, I tend to view life. I’m a deep thinker and I contemplate and ruminate often to my own detriment. I get tripped up on making decisions and question the ones I do make. Within that mindset, comes my struggle to remember to be grateful. Don’t get me wrong, I am grateful and I’m also blessed, but I tend to forget to express those things. I tend to forget to remind myself just how blessed and how loved I really am.
But today The Blended Blog is all about gratitude. I thought this would be a great time to remember what I have to be grateful for each day.
I’m loved…
The Lord loves me.
These people love me.
That soldier at the bottom right is mine. He loves me and he will willingly sacrifice for me and others. That’s love, baby!
My family…brother, Dad, and Mom. They have always loved and supported me. Thankful to have these people in my life.
This girl…Best co-worker ever! I miss her every.single.day since I went back into the classroom.
Those beautiful ladies of The Blended Blog…no better blogging friends, ever!
I’m grateful for home.
This is my current house. Not only is it home but it’s warm, cozy and feels like it’s always been home.
This is where I grew up. The house that will always be home even when new owners move in and take up residence in our rooms.
This was Grandma’s house. Grateful for the years of sweet memories in every room.
These are but a few things I’m grateful for in this moment of typing. I think being grateful needs to be continued. Stay tuned…to be continued.
Hope you have the best Monday! Hugs, Carrie
