Happy Thanksgiving!
Some of the things I am thankful for today on turkey day:
- my run this morning
- barefeet on the sand in the morning
- having more endurance while running
- even though I'm having a hard time accepting the difficulties in my life right now, the endurance it might be building up in me ("Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope." Rm 5,3-4)
- a delicious lunch
- answered prayers, especially about friends and routines
- a sweet thanksgiving card that came in the mail
- the friends that sent the card, and their loving and enduring friendship
- my hot and sensitive boyfriend, who shows what being a real man is
- God's word and promises
- my house
- the cupcake I ate today
- living by the beach
- dogs and how adorable they are
- uplifting music
- my supportive and amazing mom
- my funny and sweet dad
- a warm bed
- a warm comforter my nice sister told me she'll give me
- finishing the book Persuasion and anticipating watching the movie
- telling a fellow "immigrant" today that after six years, I finally am starting to feel community and at home in Portugal
- my landlady
- the 24 Bibles that I asked a publisher for, and they gave us (my work) for free, proving that portuguese people do give and fundraising might work in Portugal
- my blog and people reading my blog
- a heartwarming compliment I received in an email today from a friend whose opinion I value greatly
