Gratitude

Everytime a major event happens in life, I grow more thankful for everything I have. This extends through so much: God, friends, family, being able to make choices...

Today is a great chance to focus on what I am so thankful to have.

I am thankful for the ability to make choices. That said, I have been feeling this pull to go back into teaching (as a major). I have discussed this with the most important person, and I've got support and backup. My goal in life has always been to help people in my career choice. I know I'll make a great teacher. I'm excited to get back into the field again.

I am thankful for my family and friends. The turnout at the wake tonight was unreal. Everything was beautiful and I am so humbled by those who extend themselves.

I am thankful for Ben, who is an outstanding man and supporting me from Chicago via calls and texts. Don't want to find out where I'd be without him.

And of course, I am thankful to God for giving me all of the above, and everything I have in this world. I am so lucky.

All I ask today is that you all say a prayer for my family tomorrow. It will not be an easy day, but we will make it through.
