Sometimes I get so caught up in the "busyness" of my life that I forget to stop and be thankful. I love honesty and relatability. I love showing the truth of my situation in hopes that others will not feel alone in the struggle. And yes, most days there is some sort of struggle, big or small. 

Most days there is also joy. Sometimes it feels that showing the thankfulness for the joy will somehow come across as bragging or unrelatable. What a lie I'm telling myself. You have joy in your day too, big or small. There is always something to be thankful for. 

I remember when I was a new mom with a screaming baby that I was unprepared for I would repeat to myself "Thank you that he has lungs to scream, thank you that he is breathing". It was a small thanks in the midst of a big problem, but it helped. 

What are you thankful for today, big or small?
