thankful list of 2012

my word this year, embrace.

i have pushed myself to accomplish this.

embracing ALL the moments.

I'm thankful for:

• shocking moments.
• stressful days.
• unexpected change.
• self doubt.
• disappointments.
• challenges.
• unanswered questions.
• worry.
• uncertainty.
• fear.

the list above brings my life balanced. i don't wish for any of those things. hell i don't even like these things. i usually avoid or fight them. but here is the deal... 

these are the things that have brought me:

• the most growth
• strength i didn't know i had
• the drive to work even harder
• a warrior spirit
• appreciation to the moments void of those things
• new beliefs or ideas
• all things come in time
• to find ways of being prepared
• faith
• the value of vulnerability

i am thankful for family, friends, good health, laughter and having just enough.

wishing everyone a happy thanksgiving.
