thankful thursday

Ok. I debated on even doing this, but decided I would because life isn't always rainbows & butterflies. 

I am not feeling very thankful today. It's true.

I have gotten caught up in the little things in life that aren't what I would choose for myself & it's gotten me in a little funk overnight. I am feeling so much pressure about choices lately. I feel like so much of my life is decided for me because of various factors. I feel very little control in much of the decisions that are made day to day, not just in my personal life, but professionally as well. 

In some ways I am much further ahead of where I thought I'd be at this point in my life & in some ways further behind.  I guess the truth is that I am thankful for the tender mercies I do feel & for a husband that keeps me grounded. I hope that I can move it along from the way I feel right now because it's not a good place to dwell, it is just a steep road from here & I'm not the best climber.

I share this with you because I hope all of you know that life may not always go the way we choose, but I believe that we can choose to stay in a funk & dwell in it or move along quickly & try to gain understanding, insight & happiness in the things that we can choose.
