What she is doing is amazing!! But she definitely reminded me about the light inside of me. It is not easy to be the only light in the darkness. It's quite lonely and often discouraging. Just last night I had an awful day at work. A day surrounded by negativity. It's so hard to stand strong in the face of such an obstacle.
I've always counted myself as a happy person. In my family, I'm the one people call when they need a pick me up. My dad once told me, you are my little star, you shine so bright, it's contagious. Don't ever stop shining on other people.
Somehow over the last few years I've lost sight of that. I miss being a happy person. I miss the exuberance for life that I once had. I realize that by simply stating this, the likelihood is that my day will be remarkably worse than yesterday, but I'm doing it.
So today will be Thankful Thursday:
1. I'm thankful for a husband who loves me deeply and wholly.
2. I'm thankful for a family that supports me through any and every dream I have
3. I'm thankful for a job that pays the bills. May not be a dream job but it's a job no less
4. I'm thankful for the few close friends that I can count on totally and completely
5. I am thankful for the light He has put in me. My ability to smile and laugh regardless of the situation.
