Today I’m Grateful

There is a lot of history that's pretty controversial surrounding Thanksgiving. There's a lot of irony in it too... Thursday we are thankful for all we have, and Friday we are out buying more stuff we don't need.

It's been a while since I've shared my gratitude publicly. Today I'm going to share about those big/tiny miracles that have taken place in my life because, truly, these are miracles. There isn't a single item on my list I believed would come true, and yet, there it is. I don't take them for granted. I appreciate each and every single one of them.

Here goes in no particular order.

Today I'm grateful for these miracles in my life:

• for my beautiful son
• that we get to stay in this home
• that I learned of a way to keep this home. I did what had to be done, as humbling, difficult and expensive as it was.
• that my father, Dotti, her grand-daughter, her great-grandson, and two other guests (and my son) will be at our Thanksgiving table on Thursday
• that Roger was in our lives, touched our hearts, and helped me believe that I was worthy of being loved for no other reason than because I am me. I did nothing to earn that love.
• that God answered a prayer, building my faith back
• that I'm excited to see what God has in store for us next
• that Matt had a change of heart. We are amicable again. Thank goodness.
• that I can see how generous and patient Matt has been (this is a miracle for me to see this, for sure!) ... and that I am grateful for what he's done. 
• that I have money in the bank
• that I have a family that loves us; that I love
• for my beautiful friends who fill my empty heart with love; friends near and far, friends I chat with often and friends I chat with every now and then...
• for hope filling my head and heart again
• that I've let go of Matt ... and I wish him well.

What are you grateful for today?
