A quick shout-out about everything I'm grateful for this week.
Like many of you, I’m almost always in a hurry to get things done. I have a laundry list of goals and how to achieve them. At the same time, I want to build the life I want while impacting the world one way or another.
Regrettably, the pursuit of these goals sometimes takes away from time to reflect and be grateful for the things God has given me. I never want to put anything before God. So, this week, I made a conscious decision to stop and be thankful for the following gifts:
1. Life
Most days, I’m sure I take life for granted. I remembered friends, acquaintances, and even family whose lives ended too soon as I reflected on them. I’m not guaranteed next month, next week, or even tomorrow, and I’m grateful for my life and those who surround me.
2. Opportunities
I have family and friends who love me, and I'm living an extraordinary life of leisure as an early retiree. I know not everyone has the same opportunities, and I’m forever grateful for them.
3. The journey
I’ve had good days and great days! At the same time, I’ve had days when I felt like I’ve had enough. I'm grateful that the hard times taught me to be resilient and bounce back.
I’d love to hear what you are grateful for! Share in the comments!
