Gratitude Monday: What I am most grateful for this year.

This year was the year to live life on purpose for a purpose, baggage and all. I thank God that I had the courage to so. I dropped some baggage but picked up a few. While I did drop more baggage than I picked up, I am learning that I will always have something I am dealing with and the secret is not quitting.

I am so grateful I learned that life is managed not solved.

I am learning that my quest for continual improvement does not mean I am not the person I need to be right at this moment.

I am thankful I learned to listen to God twice as much as I talk to God.

I have learned that transparency does not mean that I have to share everything with everybody.

I am so humbled that letting go also meant allowing myself to be human while still holding myself accountable.

I thank God for allowing me to appreciate the good feelings from being helped instead of being in stuck in the discomfort of asking for help.

I am most grateful that I dared to live while life happened. Because of this courage to live at my most vulnerable and trying times, I have grown as a spiritual being in leaps and bounds. Because of this courage I have given my mortal being a break while holding my soul more accountable. And this, foot soldiers, is what brings me that long-term happiness called joy … even on a Monday!

Remember Please share what you are most grateful for in 2015 and dig deep!
