It is really hard to be thankful when you are having a bad week. Nothing earth shattering, nothing that can't be handled. But generally just a rough week. Conflicts with co-workers and friends, misunderstandings, and just life that gets in the way of what could have been a perfectly good week.
These are the weeks when I feel like the task of writing what I am thankful for is so worth it. Weeks like this, itt is so important to me to put my struggles into perspective. There are so many that are struggling through (and sometimes failing) with life altering desicions and it makes me very humbled that mine are small in comparison. Not to say that small issues are not important, because every struggle is real. Yes, the struggle is real. It is just nice to see that yes, the world feels like it is falling in on me, but you know what....everyone else is going through something similar too.
So this week, I am thankful for those that have made this week bearable. The wisedom my father gives me. The puppy kisses at night before bed. And especially the people out there that showed me it just isn't really that bad. We are now on the very back end of the week, and on to a long weekend. Happy Labor Day. Have a safe and extra long weekend.
What were some of your struggles this week? Go ahead, let them out. And then let them go!
