What's in a word?




The things you take for granted
someone else is praying for…


 
Grateful…

It’s the word I’ve chosen to focus on this year and I am going to work to be grateful for all kinds of blessings…both large and small.




 I have a family that seems to believe that I can do/accomplish/try anything…they have such faith in me, and for that I am so thankful. 



I have work that I love.  School has and always will be such an important part of my life, and I believe in education with a passion that gets me through even the most difficult days. 



I love coffee…though I’m not really sure if it’s the coffee or it’s that first quiet hour of the day I spend drinking coffee and talking to my husband.  We both look forward to it and are grateful that such a simple thing gets our day started off on the right foot.  It’s worth hearing that alarm clock go off bright and early!



Books…How many do I have?  Well, let’s just say a lot.  I can’t seem to resist them.  The good news is with my Kindle not only can I buy a book I want to read without even having to go to the bookstore, I save myself some shelf space.   



Quiet time…with the busy days and millions of things to do or be distracted by, I crave and need some time to think.  I am really grateful for those times that force me to slow down and contemplate just how fortunate I am.



The hard stuff…yep, I’ve vowed to even be grateful for the tough situations and difficult people that I sometimes encounter.  After all, I learn a lot while navigating those rough seas.


What word did you choose to focus on this year?  Did I mention the other thing I'm grateful for?  It's the chance to write this blog and share in these friendly visits with you.  

All the best, 
Kelly
