YOU'RE STILL HERE

“Look yourself in the eye and tell yourself, you’re okay. You’re okay not because everything is perfect or went according to plan. You’re okay not because every human being alive adores you, and you have never had an ounce of hurt in your heart. You’re okay not because you know for sure what every hour of the future will hold. You’re okay despite every reason you shouldn’t be. You’re still standing. You’re still here, still soothing your inner storms, still searching for the answers, and still trying, even if your “try” only looks like being willing to make it through another night. “The Pivot Year--365 DAYS TO BECOME THE PERSON YOU TRULY WANT TO BE—by Brianna Wiest.

After reading this short piece from one of my favorite books, it resonated with me immediately and deeply—I'm Still Here! Why should I feel  grateful? These were some of the reasons that became very clear to me.  I hope you find them meaningful to you, as well.

Another breath.

Another chance.

Another sunrise.

Another day to express gratefulness.

Another day to start again.

Another step forward.

Another day to love your family.

Another day to forgive.

Another heartbeat.

Another moment to be kind.

Another chance to sing your song—In your own voice. At your own pace.

(I cannot forget about singing).❤️

I’m still here.

You're still here,

And that alone

Is a reason to give thanks!

What are you grateful for today?
