Thankful Thursdays

It’s hard to believe that it’s Thursday already this week! Although, I must admit, I am ready for this week to be over. It’s been a rather long and difficult week for various reasons.

Appropriately so, I was inspired by the blog post from KD on “A Bit Squirrelly.” She wrote today about the days that we struggle to find things to be grateful for. We know we are blessed, we know what we have, yet it’s a struggle. It seems there are days when everything is working against us, we keep getting beat down. Sometimes it’s difficult (or seems so) to climb over that mountain and see the other side.

I often tell people that these days of struggle are often the days of most growth. Right now, after a tough week I am most grateful for simple things–sitting in front of a warm and welcoming fire, watching a football game while snuggling next to my warm and fuzzy corgi named Coco.

Days of struggle force me to see the simple things that I may overlook on the days when the gratitude pours out of me. I have a great appreciation for things that maybe on regular day I take for granted.

Use these days to dig deep and grow!
