I'm Grateful For You!

It's been a while since I've written you...but I HAD to write you before Thanksgiving and let you know HOW GRATEFUL I am to have YOU in my life. 

If you don't already know this by now, let me say this a few more times. 

I'm GRATEFUL for YOU! 

I'm GRATEFUL for YOU! 

I'm GRATEFUL for YOU! 

Truth be told, I keep wanting to spell "Grateful' incorrectly....I'll blame technology on it..or perhaps that was my warning that I don't use the word enough. Or maybe I don't take enough time to express my gratitude. 

The holidays are a mixed bag of emotions. For some of us, it can be a joy-filled time, getting to spend time with family who otherwise are distant - whether in proximity or in stages of life. 

For others, the holidays can be dominated by grief, anxiety or even anger. This time of the year can be a trigger of emotions, amplifying them in ways we wouldn't expect. 

Although I probably don't know your exact story or situation, there is one thing I do know. 

You are loved. 

Yes, it's cliche, I know. But, we need this reminder. I need this reminder. Whether you like it or not...whether you know it or not....whether you believe it or not. YOU ARE LOVED! 

Regardless of your stage of life, accomplishments, abilities, confidence, job status, education level, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, depression/anxiety, past/current addiction, neighborhood you reside in, community you lack, or any other barrier you have in your life, YOU ARE LOVED. 

Love doesn't always come dressed with the fluffy, good-feelin', PG-rated movies, but it does present itself with sacrifice, humility, peace, perseverance, consistency, patience, and most importantly, joy.
