Thankful Tuesday

It has been a hot minute since I updated my blog. Life is so interesting, and difficult at times. With that being said, I just wanted to give thanks today. I am grateful for my life, my health, my family, my trials, my disappointments, etc.

You may ask why I would be thankful for trials and disappointments? Well, I see it as part of my overall life journey. Life should include experience in all of these realms. If you have the opportunity to fail, you grow from that failure and learn. If you have trials, you typically grow and develop from those also. So for us to experience a more complete version of ourselves we need to have experiences that bridge the entire spectrum of life. For example, we all will experience loss at some point in our life. I couldn't relate with people who had lost someone, until I lost my own parents. From that came compassion and understanding that I otherwise wouldn't know.

So take a small portion of your day today and relish ALL aspects of what is going on in your life. It's part of our journey and we should try and understand and learn from what life is teaching us.
