Thankful Thursday

 

Happy Thursday, friends. I hope you enjoy today's different spin on a post about being thankful.

Today, I'm choosing thankfulness. Not because everything is perfect, but because gratitude has a way of softening even the hardest edges of a week. On this Thursday, I'm pausing long enough to notice the quiet blessings I usually rush past—the way the morning light felt kind, the simple comfort of routine, the people who make my days feel a little less heavy and a little more hopeful. 

I'm thankful for the small things that stitch my life together; the warm cup in my hands, that laughter I wasn't expecting yesterday, the text from a man who makes me smile with every word he says, the strength I didn't know I still had.

I'm thankful for the big things too: the love that steadies me, the friendships that feel like home, the faith that carries me forward, and a heart that's learning—slowly, beautifully—to open again.

A Thursday like this reminds me that gratitude is its own kind of grace. It shifts my mood, lifts my spirit, and brings light into places that need it the most. I'll embrace that light today and I'll do my best to share it with everyone I come into contact with. 

What's something you're choosing to be thankful for this week? Is it an actual thing? A person? A moment in time? I shared a sweet moment with Chris Tuesday night when we met for dinner. Come back tomorrow and I'll tell you more about it then. Thanks for being here to read today, friends. Love to all.
