Grateful

I don't know what it is but I was sitting in my house today and I was just overcome with this feeling of grace and peace. This gratitude for everything that I've been blessed with in my mere 28 years of life. My mind just started spinning with all the things I'm not happy with in my life and those thoughts were instantly bombarded by the complete opposite thought that flipped the negative into a positive.

•  I may not have much time to myself (even just to go to the bathroom) but I have some fantastic kids who love to spend time with me
• My family may not always understand the choices I make but at least I have a family to belong to
• We don't own a home yet but we do have somewhere warm for our kids to sleep
• Sometimes I with I had a job outside of my house to interact with more adults but at least I have the luxury to stay home or get a job
• We cancelled our cable to save money and it kind of sucks to miss every ball game but we do have indoor plumbing and clean water and beds, etc.

I mean, I don't think enough about how other countries have to live or even other people in our country. We have so much to be thankful for and I loved being just blown over by all these thoughts first thing this morning.
