Today has been one of those days. One of those days when it seems like nothing goes right and anything that can go wrong, definately does. This is actually the second time I've sat down to write this blog because the first time I typed it up, edited it, inserted a cute image and then went to publish...except it was promptly deleted. Don't ask me how because I have no idea. It adds to my dilema of finding something to be thankful for today. I have many obvious things to be thankful for, of course, but as I'm trying to think 'outside of the box' it's been a challenge. Then it dawned on me that maybe that is exactly what I should be thankful for.
Challenging days like today help me to overcome myself, bring me back down to earth, make me feel like a human again. I'm thankful for the challenges of everyday life and trying to push myself through those days is sometimes difficult. Pushing myself wasn't always the case. Whenever challenges would come about, I was always able to talk myself away from it, slide under the radar or just plain give up. It was just easier that way. But as I've gotten older (and possibly wiser), I've realized that coming out on the other side shows me what I'm truly made of. What I can handle, what I can't handle and what I will not deal with. I'm thankful that I can now actually push through and continue to meet the challenges that come my way no matter how big or how small.
Now is time to put this day behind me. I am very thankful that tomorrow I can wake up and start over!
