Favorite Word Friday #24 "Grateful"

Grateful
I'm feeling grateful. Really, I should feel grateful all
the time; I have family and friends that love me, I get to write books like
I've always wanted to, and God is with me every second of every day. How could
I not be grateful? Unfortunately, many times I find myself throwing pity
parties and complaining. "Why me?"
I'm human; we all
do it.
Yet lately it's been easier for me to think of things
that I'm thankful for. You guys are the best. Do you know how much it means for
you to read my posts and to get excited about a book that you haven't even read
yet? To tweet about it, share on it your Facebook page, and enter a giveaway to
win that book? Do you realize how exciting it is for an author to see the book
she's been writing on her laptop on your blog? The book that saw her through
happiness, sadness, and stressfulness; heartache, hardships, and blissful days?
I wish you could, if you don't already, realize just how special you are for
these simple little things that translate into something so very big in my life.
I can't say thank you enough. I wish I could hug you all!
I am grateful!

Hey Miranda, thanks for mentioning my blog :) And I love the word grateful. What a wonderful reminder to count our blessings. Truly when we count our blessings those times when we are feeling blue we can find that silver lining.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine the excitement you are feeling to have your book "out there." So congratulations!
Thanks, Julie! It is nice to feel grateful. I'm so excited I can hardly contain it! :)
