Tonight I'm thankful for...

The beautiful friendships in my life. The wisdom of those around me who are living life to the fullest and finding God's paths for their lives. The precious moments that make this life all worthwhile. The laughter, and the tears that make us wiser, stronger, and more fit for the journey ahead.

The moments in my life where I couldn't see the plan God had for me, and often questioned what He was doing. Those times when I doubted, I now see how much better His way was than mine could ever have been.

And although I have by no means 'arrived' now, I can see where I have been and where I am now, and I'm so thankful to be here versus there. I'm thankful now that things didn't go 'my way'.

Life is about precious little moments... a hug from a good friend. A shared laugh. Indulging in a slice of decadent white chocolate cake at ungodly hours of the night. The little bird I set free today from flypaper. The giggles of kids at play.

I am so very blessed.
