I've been right on the fringe lately of some sort of self discovery. It's not there yet, but it's getting there. I know it has to do with purpose in life and contentment. I'm not there yet.
Without anyone to stretch my brain or challenge me, I fall in a rut. It's easier to not worry about changing myself and growing.
Today as we all celebrate thanksgiving, I felt like it was important to name the things I am most thankful for. To adjust my focus.
I am thankful for life. In all the ups and downs that it provides. In the chaos and the order. There is just that little nugget of wonder and joy just in the mere fact of being alive.
I am thankful for this journey of mine. Looking at the roads I've taken to get me thus far, there is not a road I wish I hadn't taken. They have all led me to where I am now, with more understanding, more compassion-
I know the person I could easily become, and I know that I have the moral fiber to remain faithful to the straight path- despite it all.
I am thankful for all of the people that remain in my life throughout the years. The ones that stay even after I move. I appreciate the effort they make, because I know how many have not. But even those, I am thankful for the memories of the time they were in my life.
I am thankful for the magic that is my life. The random conversations, the coincidences, the random hearts, the laughter, the joy- the ability to show love in all that I am.
I am thankful I have a cute little house, a car that hasn't broken yet, food in the refrigerator, and a family that loves me.
The sun is shining, and there is magic.
