Good News: I Can Be Thankful
When people ask me how I am doing, I never quite know how to respond. Usually people are hoping that I will share that everything is great.
But if I was completely honest, not everything is great. I am not going to list all of the challenges in my life here, but there are some situations that create significant stress.
At the same time, there are many things in my life that I am thankful for. I have a wonderful family and I get to do for a living things that I enjoy. I have had way more opportunities than one guy deserves.
Is life good or bad? Easy or hard? Life is life. My life has mix of some really great things and some things that are less great. Nothing is perfect but there are reasons for me to be thankful.
For me, Thanksgiving isn’t so much about the turkey as it is to take time to reflect on what my life looks like. Without living in complete denial, I can say with confidence that I have many reasons to be thankful.
