much to be Thankful for

''Best of all is it to preserve everything in a pure, still heart, and let there be for every pulse a thanksgiving, and for every breath a song."
- Konrad von Gesner

I stole that quote off my lovely friend Whitney's facebook page.  I love it.

Tomorrow is Canada Thanksgiving Day.  I LOOOOVVEEE this celebration.  I have a dinner tonight with a heap of different people with the family i live with.  And tomorrow i have another dinner/party night with Whitney and all her beautiful family and friends.

I have SO much to be thankful for.   I wish NZ celebrated this day too......
I'm thankful to be here, knowing it's where I'm meant to be and it was so the right thing for me to do.  I'm thankful to have made it through the last two years and endured it all...knowing i'm changing for the better and those events have only (hopefully) made me stronger.
I'm thankful for the huge amount of good, inspirational, genuine people i have in my life - all over the world.  I seriously do not know how i managed to get such amazing people in my life......and they just keep coming...more and more of them.

This is weird to say in such a way, i know, but I'm thankful for my hands that i express so much with, for my feet and legs that take me the places i need to go, for my eyes that give me sight and let me see God's creation, for my ears that get to hear songs and sounds of laughter so often, for my nose that takes in many different scents.
I'm thankful for a fully functional, working body!  After all the injuries and operations and things that i've faced....i'm thankful it all still works and is healthy!  Maybe one day i'll even be really thankful for my crookedness and let that be a reminder to me of the imperfect perfection all around me.  


But mostly, I am thankful that i know Jesus.....and to Him i owe my everything for all He blesses me with and puts up with from me.

yikes this blog is a bit deep. for those of you that know me....you know that writing is my biggest therapy ....so you won't judge me too much. haha.

Blessed abundantly.x
