There have been a lot of people in my life who have shown me that I have things to be thankful for lately. I’d like to indulge myself a tiny bit today and say thank you to them…

To the acquaintance who introduced me to a colleague and said, “Have you met Liz? You should. She’s really knowledgeable.” Thank you.

To the friend who asked a favor and, when I said yes, simply answered, “You’re awesome.” No one gets told that often enough in their lives. Thank you.

To the old friend who asked me how I was and genuinely wanted to know the answer, and then said, “I’m sorry. That’s hard. I love you.” Knowing that they have so much going on in their own life. Knowing that there was nothing to be done, but that didn’t mean kind words couldn’t be said. Thank you.

To the friend who caused a tiny ruckus to sit near me at a place where my anxiety was high, even though you probably didn’t know that. Thank you.

It’s time for me to start realizing the good around me every day again. I’m off to a fantastic start.
