thankful

I'll refrain from titling more posts about my showering habits, but the shower I took today, phenomenal. It's amazing how a nights sleep can take away worry and stress like a magical remedy. Nothing's changed in the morning, except you have LESS time and things are closer - but they all seem ok. And even though I did not want to wake up this morning (I contained my alarm snoozing to three hits) sometimes all it takes is starting a day you don't want to find out it's not going to be as bad as you thought. Now life here throws some craziness at you everyday. But the today was great. When a day like today works out, and I can feel really good about taking my dinner on the patio here, overlooking a beautiful sky and setting sun, I'm really overcome by thankfulness for all the people that have supported me through the tough times, and are praying for me behind the scenes and across an ocean, because it is largely due to that massive effort that I'm here, in this good spot, today.

So I'm not going to say more than that I'm thankful for everyone who's out there reading, for sending up little prayers and big prayers and fb messages and comments that let me know the people I love are out there thinking about me. It's the right perspective on life too; I think it's a big circle (prayers to bless you make you feel thankful, which in turn makes you feel blessed) that God intended. So here's to being thankful.
