Good Times, Good Friends
Well, after a long semester (which still isn't quite finished) and some long overdue sleep. I was finally able to visit some friends and family yesterday. I feel very blessed to have old friends and family in my life that support my hopes and dreams and are very understanding about my long absences. It was shocked and ashamed to see how much I had missed. I couldn't believe some of the changes and major life stuff I had missed because my head was buried in school books and projects. THIS CAN'T GO ON!!!
As Thanksgiving approaches this coming week, I have been blessed to have wonderful opportunities, blessings, and supporting people in my life, for which I am very grateful. I received an email from a friend listing all the things she was thankful for - everything from wool socks to good friends and right on up to a God who loves her. It really made me think about how important the little things in life are - especially little moments.
So in honor of my dear friend, I will include a small list of things I am thankful for: Family, friends, favorite candle scent, the smell of Christmas trees, Mission trip friendships, new possibilities, the end of the semester, fireplaces, blankets, Ma's quilts, and advice from my parents. These are just a few of the things I'm grateful for - what are you grateful for?
