I am blessed

Today's post is simply to say:

Even with all I have been through, with all the obstacles that life has thrown at me, with all the tears I've cried, and the times I've felt lost and lonely....I am blessed.

Even with the troubles I've faced, the heartbreak I've felt, and the pain I have felt inside....I am blessed.

Even through the ups and downs, the in's and outs, the good and the bad....I am blessed.

With every step I took, and fell down, with all the scrapes and scars I gained, with all the bandages I have worn....I am blessed.

Even when things seemed to never go right, when I felt like giving up, when I felt broken.....I am blessed.

Even when I thought there was no light in sight, when I thought the end was near, when I felt no other way out....I am blessed

When I felt angry, frustrated and ready to explode....I am blessed

Even When I felt betrayed, disappointed, and when I felt the walls closing in on me...I am blessed

No matter what...

I am blessed.

I am thankful.

I am grateful.

For all of this has only made me stronger. I am thankful for the lessons I have learned. I am grateful for the people I have met along the way.

I am blessed, because these things have all made me who I am today, they have built me up, and given me strength to move forward, and to keep going.

It's hard to count our blessings sometimes. It's hard think positive and remember to be grateful, and it can be hard to be thankful when our eyes are blinded from the pain, but everyday you survive your daily struggles is a day to remember to always be thankful, and grateful and remember....

YOU ARE BLESSED!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone <3
