This year, I am thankful for:
1. A family that supports me and allows me to move back in so I can focus on getting out of debt. I'm sure it's an inconvenience to have your grown daughter move back in with you and not pay any rent at all, but I'm thankful that my parents don't seem to think of it that way. And I'm thankful for the extra time I get to spend with my siblings while they're growing up.
2. A God who knows what it's like to be human, because he was one. He understands our faults and shortcomings, and he forgives and forgives and forgives. I am so thankful for that blessing.
3. An amazing class of 2 and 3 year olds. I love all my classes, but I'm especially thankful for how sweet and well-behaved this group is. Many of my sessions this year have been challenging, and this one is just a season of rest. I love it, and I love the boys and girls in my class.
4. Singleness. It might seem like a strange thing to be thankful for. I'm thankful for singleness because it frees up my energy to focus on work, Christ, and goals like getting fit and getting out of debt. I'm thankful because it has taught me how to receive love from all different kinds of people in many different ways, not just romantic love from a spouse. I've learned to value familial love, friendship love, and most of all the love of Christ above all things.
5. NOT working in retail. I don't think I need to explain that. :)
Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!
