1. The ability to change and grow. I am grateful for my own ability to change – even when it’s hard to hear and difficult to make that change. Without that change, I would never be able to live my best life! But I also appreciate other people’s ability to change and grow! When I get to see that, it’s like being given a glimpse behind the curtain of a miracle!
2. My amazing friends who support and love me through everything life throws my way! Together we talk, laugh, cry, pray, eat, drink and dance our way through this journey and I couldn’t think of a better way to do it!
3. Things that make me laugh because they remind me to not take everything so damn seriously. Sometimes it’s the mindless giggles caused by The Simpsons. Or my drunken friends (most of them) as we one-up each other into big, loud, belly-laughs! Laughter helps me remember to breathe, to relax and to let go!
4. The realization that I deserve good things in my life. This is a BIG one! On the surface I’ve been told I don’t come across as insecure, but I’ve struggled for years with low self-esteem. I have always had a negative kernel deep inside telling me I’m not good enough, I don’t deserve better, I can’t maintain. Until recently, this small but powerful lie has dictated more of my life than I want to admit. But it is a lie based in fear; it is not reality! Knowing that means I get to choose, I am not dictated to by my fear. “When you know better, you do better.”
5. Having a job that I love that also makes a difference in the lives of other people. Anyone in my life knows that I work in nonprofit organizations and will probably never leave this type of work. As I’ve grown personally, I’ve been able to grow professionally as well. It is such a blessing to use the gifts I’ve been given to help others!
