#gv I am grateful for reminders of hope.

I am grateful for the random gratitude notes I have placed all over that I can find to lift my spirits. I am grateful I do it even when it feels super intentional (when it would be much quicker to list complaints). I am so grateful my girl had a great party this last weekend to celebrate her and her choice to officially join a group of people who can support and love her. I am so grateful for the people who came and who love her – one’s that are still part of that group and ones who no longer are but still love and support her just the same. It was so great to feel love of family all around us and I am so grateful for my children to have a place that feels safe and supportive. I am grateful that miraculously our family seems to have stayed together and that there are times of peace when we are together. I am grateful for the tiny specks of hope and faith that remain in my life. I am grateful that they never seem to completely disappear. I am grateful gratitude is so powerful to strengthen and uplift.
