This year and every year, I’m thankful for you being a part of my life.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! As we enter the Thanksgiving season and reflect on what we’re thankful for, I want to share a few things that are important to me.
I once took a class where we rated our values, and the big ones they took away because they assumed that we all had them in the close order up top: God, family, and health. I am 100% grateful for those, but I want to move on to a few more that might surprise you.
Our new bathroom window, which I thought I would use to signify that I am incredibly grateful for hot running water. I know that’s very simple, but there’s something about stepping into a hot shower and covering yourself in that comfort, which is a blessing. Everyone needs a way to be able to move into softness, warmth, and comfort that makes them say it’s going to be okay. For me, hot running water is definitely that symbol of comfort and technology that has made our lives infinitely better.
“Thank you so much to each of you who are part of what I’ve been able to create.”
I love hearty fuchsia flowers. To me, they are that spot of color. They start out strong in summer, but as everything else starts to get a little darker or a little drier, leaves start falling, and trees become more bare, we can come back to that spot of color. We need these bright spots in our lives that bring us joy. These things are things that we are not seeking out, but when we come across them, they are great and fabulous. It makes us smile and happy. I am very grateful for my hearty fuchsia flowers.
This next one may surprise you the most: I am actually grateful for messes. Messes are proof that we are alive. We are in a community with others, and things are happening. Hopefully, progress is being made like the mess from my construction. I have more mess out in the carport and the new bedroom and bathroom area.
This mess is proof that I have great people working alongside me. When I see the extension cord lying there, I’m not thinking, “Oh my gosh, the extension cord is cluttering up my deck.” Instead, I think, “Wow, I have great electricians I can rely on and plumbers who need that extension cord for their work.” I am so grateful that they are here.
A quick little update on my bedroom and bathroom: they actually look pretty tidy at the moment. They’re framed in, and we have a permit inspector coming this afternoon for the electrical, and a mechanical inspection that is scheduled for tomorrow. So, things are happening.
Here’s the bottom line: I love life, I love my people, and I love my tribe. I am so grateful for the comfort and beauty, even the trouble that the dog can cause. Ultimately, they are all part of a life worth living.
Thank you so much to each of you who are part of what I’ve been able to create. It wouldn’t be the same without you—not a single bit of it. I am super grateful. As you gather to give thanks this Thanksgiving, I hope it’s with family, friends, and people who are important to you. Remember that life is good, and we are blessed.
