Five things I’m grateful for…

my health.

While I was recovering this week, I’m grateful that I’m healthy enough to recover so quickly from something like a sinus infection. I’m grateful that I’ve built healthy habits thanks to my fiancé’s help when it comes to foods and workouts.

my job.

I’ve raved about my job so many times, but after working for a job that was honestly extremely hard and unforgiving, I can’t express enough how much I love what I do for work. Being a librarian has opened up more avenues of creativity for me because I’m not drained of all my energy by the end of the day.

my writer’s spirit.

While I have been venturing into other interests, I’m so grateful that the heart of my creativity is writing. I’ve strayed from this blog time and time again, but I always come back to it. And I know that this gift has been preserved by God for me because there have been times when I’ve thought that I’ve “lost” it, and then God quickly inspires me with something to write about.

water.

I don’t think we truly acknowledge the privilege that is clean water. Water clean enough to bathe in, to wash our dishes in, to drink. Does anyone remember the water crisis in Flint, Michigan? It lasted YEARS, meanwhile, most of the country still had clean water. The people of Flint will forever be affected by their water crisis, and those of us who have not experienced this will not understand. So, I’m grateful for water.

friends.

And I’m talking about long-lasting friendships. I’m about to embark on an adventure with some of the closest friends I know, and we’ve been friends for over ten years now! I’m so grateful for this time we’re about to spend to celebrate a friend’s marriage, and to just enjoy each other’s company!

What are some things you’re grateful for? And not just the typical things people list; think outside of the usual answers for gratefulness!
