It’s been a few weeks since I sat down to examine the reasons for gratitude in my life. I try to make this a weekly part of my blog, but sometimes I fail to do it. It’s important that I take the time to express my heartfelt gratitude because it’s all too easy to take people and things for granted in our lives.
That for which I am most grateful in my life right now is friendship. It sounds like some sort of a sob story, but I’ve never had a lot of friends. Now, for the first time in my life, I have people who share their lives with me and genuinely share their lives with me. I have a close, yet growing, circle of friendships. We often refer to ourselves as a “Fraternity”, and I can’t think of a more appropriate term.
While I’m so anxious for this house to sell so that I can move to a place of my very own, I’m grateful for the roof I have over my head. All will work out in the right time. I long to be closer to the city, closer to the friends I love, but I need to just learn to be content with where I am right now, for so many would love to be in the situation I’m in. Many people don’t even have a home.
Here’s my confession: I have a world of blessings I’d have never ever suspected even a year ago. I have friends who truly care about me. I have a clearer picture of who I am and what the future holds. Life isn’t perfect, situations aren’t perfect, but there are so many wonderful things happening in life that. But, in spite of the things that aren’t perfect in my life, I’m blessed. And the adventure continues.
