The Silver Lining (#159)

On a day when things went from bad to worse, I found gratitude at the end of it. I’m still here. I’m still alive. I’m still surrounded and supported by people who love me. Everything else, really just pales in comparison.

Today I’m Grateful For…

Kind old ladies and good conversation
Convenient taxies
Being exactly where I’m supposed to be
My family
Time to FaceTime
Good snacks
Talking things out
My cat, Ned 🙂
Clean water
Naps whenever I can take them
A little understanding
Learning and lots of it
Time to journal
Great storytelling
My time in Iceland
Seeing Stenie in London
Sports and brining people together
My favorite hoodie
Countdowns to football season
Delicious smoothies
Good music
A couple deep breaths
Time for hiking
My friends who helped me get here
This very moment

As always, check out my first blog, 25 Things I’m Grateful For (#1) to know why I’m writing this list and why I want you to start yours.
