Giving Thanks

Dear Meagan,

I bet you are not at all surprised that this is the topic the day before thanksgiving!  I'm going to be short and sweet tonight- got a paper to write by Friday :/ Buuuutt I'm thankful for the opportunity to get my degree and to write a paper on my own research! (hehe)

So as I'm sure you are well aware it is absoultely natural human tendency to notice the bad things in life :/ We notice all the little things that go wrong throughout the day but rarely notice all the things that go RIGHT!  We need to make a conscious effort to laugh off the bad and NOTICE the GOOD!

A great way to remember to give thanks is to pray to daily.  Every time you pray be sure to start by THANKING God for all things in your life that are going RIGHT.  Thank Him for the roof over your head, the direction that your going with school, and most of all thank Him for making you a living miracle and allowing you to overcome and thrive through your surgeries (I know I thank Him every day for that!)

This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for you and the rest of the fam for sure :)  I hope you don't ever look at your life and think of the struggles (we could all do that- although I think you beat out most 23 year olds ;).... instead I hope you look at your life with joy and amazement realzing how much of a miracle you are and how much you've overcome!

Love you.... HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

XOXO,

-Brooke
