Well, I made it. Thirty straight days of writing. Thirty straight days of things past and present that I am thankful for. About seventy of you readers out there followed along, every day. I thank you for your consistent support, motivation and comments.
I chose to write these thankful posts this year, because it's been a tough one. I am not the person I was a year ago, and my family is not the same family. If I'm being completely honest, there were days I didn't want to write about what I was thankful for-it seemed easier at the time to just chuck my computer across the room and give in to the bad. Sometimes I think, if only for a moment, that I'd like to erase this past year. But that thought is immediately drowned out by all of the good that has happened: we have grown together in our new home, we have cried happy tears, we have gone on amazing adventures. I wanted to prove to myself that I really do have so much to be thankful for. I have amazing family and friends in my life, my children are happy and healthy, and I've got a good man to go through life with. The rest? Well, the rest will have to be figured out in time. And it will be figured out in time. I know that the current struggles we are facing will come to pass. After all, I've got a lot more living and loving to do, and as I look to the future, there is one thing that will always be with me: HOPE.
