There are days when it's hard and I'm in an emotional sandpit. There are still days where I feel like I'm not all I should be and, in some way, I'm letting everyone around me down. There are days when I can't get myself out of bed because I don't know what the point would be.

But today I'm grateful, because I have so much to be grateful for.

I'm grateful to have a job that lets me to keep a roof over my head and food in my stomach. I'm grateful that I am able to be and live independently. I'm grateful that I will be able to see my family both on Thanksgiving and Christmas day, even if I may have to get a little creative with the driving.

I know that there are still going to be days when I can't see and appreciate these things as much as I should, but today I am so incredibly grateful for all the things that I do have that I'm to busy to think about what I don't.
