Its the annual celebration of giving thanks. And while I am thankful for so many things every single day - it's fun to acknowledge those things publicly. Especially since Santa has surely not purchased all of my presents yet.
This year - I'm thankful for a lot. I know, every year I'm thankful for a lot. But 2017 (2016 too now that I think about it) has been a doozy. You know what, the past 5 years have been years of incredible highs and lows. So that's given me more time to reflect on some of the things I'm thankful for.
First - I'm thankful for the insane lows of the past year. Didn't see that coming did you? Well I am. I'm thankful because for the first time in my life, I feel indestructible. On my own. As myself. I know that anything that comes at me, I'm in a position to overcome.
I am also thankful for the people that have been placed in my world. For the humans who have becomes my support. I'm thankful for your patience with me, your challenging me to open up and rely on you, and for reminding me that I am pretty awesome.
I'm thankful or growing up. For oddly letting 32 feel like a defining year when its nothing but a number. It's only been a month and I feel like 32 has challenged me to own being an adult on my own terms.
Social media. I have a love/hate relationship with social media but I am thankful for how it's allowing me to slowly give me hope that my dream of being a writer could become a thing. One day.
My dog. Obviously. I'm thankful for your unconditional love and for teaching me that everything in the world is exciting if you let it be.
I'm thankful for so many things. And writing them down, gives my soul a little extra shine. What are you thankful for sequins?
