Hi Everyone! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow. Since the Season for Gratitude is upon us, I wanted to consider some of the things that I appreciate most in my life:
Gratitude List – Top 5
5. Food: Yep. Food. Veggie dishes, brown rice, salads, etcetera. It’s one of life’s purest and most simple gifts. It’s also an extension of nature which, to me, is a reminder of the vast beauty the natural world has to offer us.
4. Belief: Though splotchy and circumstantially malleable, I still have that faint twinkle of belief in life’s possibilities. Sometimes life and all of its contradictions can beat the stuffing out of you. Lol. During those times, a humble dose of endurance, a tiny bit of belief, and a few friends who will endure your complaints goes a long way.
3. Home: Home is definitely where the heart is or at least where it has the freedom to flourish without the veil. The veil is often necessary as we navigate the outside world, but space to embrace our authentic self in all its grit and glory is a treasure that I associate with the home.
2. Relationships: I have great friends and other resilient, intelligent people in my circle who regularly serve as a reminder that I can harness my better, more optimistic and on-point self to win at achieving what’s most important to me.
1. Mobility: I am fortunate for the basic things that we take for granted sometimes like being able to walk, talk, and manually manipulate things with my arms & hands. Hopefully, I’ll continually improve my choices and habits relating to my health. I am just happy for my blessings in this category all things considered.

P.S. Though they didn’t make the top 5, I wanted to give honorable mention to work, money, and downtime.
