Today i’m going to write on the things I am grateful for, I encourage anyone that reads to spend 10 minutes doing the same.

First, to God, for supporting me. for loving me. for giving me strength when I thought i’d have none left. for providing ways for me. for lifting me from the darkest spaces. And for hearing my heart.

I grateful for music. Music saves me.

I grateful for this platform, and my journal, and the notes app on my phone. Anywhere I can write is probably one of the spaces I share the most gratitude for.

I’m grateful for my truest friendship in KyAsia. and the heart she has.

i’m grateful to my brother for housing me this summer. and for scaffolding for giving me work.

I’m grateful for vanilla essential oil. and peppermint. and dr bronner’s soaps.

Most of all I’m thankful for her. I had found everything in her. Every good thing. Every thing worth fighting for. Real love. Patience. Guidance, Safety to be me. A pair of arms to hold me, two listening ears. I found my person. The one that keeps me driven. And forgives my lapses. The light of my light. My sun and my moon. Every prayer I’ve asked is provided through her. She was the biggest proof that God heard me. That God answers. I’m even thankful for the challenges and the growth. I’m grateful to have developed a love this strong. That i refused to give up on. Because she is the very air i breathed. And she loved me.

I’m grateful for her above all else.

SO what are you grateful for? comment… or just write it… do it.. now … focus on gratitude for the next 10 minutes. and sit in that appreciation. and reconnect with the beauty in the things that bring you peace.
