Morning Gratitude: Three Reasons I am Thankful

Gratitude is so therapeutic for me. It reminds me that life is filled with more blessings than pain. As I have mentioned, I am implementing the Self-Journal my boys gifted me. I either have to list three things I am thankful for or one thing I am grateful for and three reasons why. Here are the three reasons I am thankful:

1. I’m Thankful for my Husband.

I’m thankful for my husband, Robert Daley. He leads this family wonderfully. We’ve taken a step back to focus on my health which means I am not aggressively pursuing the business for a bit. Things are more than tight and still, he finds a way to make it work. He goes from the suit to Uber on weekends to keep us afloat.

We’ve also worked on ourselves in a way we probably wouldn’t have. We are living proof that only one person stands in the way of making your goals — you.

I know that our challenges will be someone’s testimony. Life does not punish you for hurting, succeeding or going through challenges. It is; however, unkind to those who are not resilient.

I have a support system that makes me stronger with each challenge I face. Yesterday it felt good to turn around to an army and say “I got this, and God’s got the rest.”

These are just three of the things I am grateful for. God’s grace and guidance are just awesome. I love to give him thanks by putting nouns and verbs together that articulate the things that fill my heart with gratitude. So far, it is pretty easy on most days because my blessings
