Thankful, Grateful, Blessed.

As we enter into the holiday season, I have taken the time to reflect on where I am in my life. I am healthy, my children and family are healthy and safe, and those I care about are thriving and doing well. It's very easy to get into the hustle and bustle of the holiday season: planning for christmas gifts, trying to squeeze in as many holiday parties as possible, and lastly...not falling apart from all of the planning.

I want to encourage you this holiday season to take time to reflect on how blessed you are. The holidays are not easy for everyone. Someone is spending it across the state or country away from their family. Someone is preparing for the first holiday without their loved one. Someone else is dealing with inner struggles and can't seem to shake their depression. These and countless other scenarios are people's actual realities, so give grace, show love, and remember how thankful, grateful, and blessed you are.
