Thank You

The month of June was sort of a whirlwind for me however the one posture that my heart cries out is thank you! It doesn't make sense, it's silly, dumb, and even humiliating but with everything I have experienced last month all I think to say in my mind is thank you. There was a situation that made me upset ( my car tire was flat and I didn't know how to change it.) I didn't want to ask for help because I felt independent and did not want to look weak. So, instead of doing what others deem "logical", I did the most illogical thing which was to panic. In the midst of the panic when I was able to catch my breath I realized that I was not in any danger. Things simply did not go my way that day. My tire going flat was the catalyst for me feeling defeated that day. However by the next day, I was still able to wake up, go for a run, and a family member gave me a ride to church. So, to highlight the title of this post I want to thank my family and friends. You all know me from my ugly and pretty and definitely my crazy. You all choose to love me every day even though it's not easy. You all remind me of Jesus in some way shape or form and it pushes me to be a better version of myself. So, if you are out there somewhere wondering how to get through a season of drought (where you don't feel successful or you feel like a failure). The first step is to start with a heart of gratitude and look around you and say thank you! Thank you, God, for life and breath in my lungs. Thank you mom for making my bed. Thank you Dad for working and bringing income into our house. Thank you sister for being a good listening ear. Thank you brother for being yourself and always cheering me up. Once you start your day with an attitude of thanksgiving it's hard to focus on the negative.
