Attitude of Gratitude

November 5.
Here I am, sitting in Minnesota, writing this post for all 3 people that will eventually see it. And I am a little bit stumped. Not because I can't think of things I am grateful for, but because I don't know which to choose and how to put it into words. I think it's time for story time with Miranda.

The past few months have been pretty hard for me. Not because my life isn't wonderful, but because some things are not at all what I expected them to be. Some trials hit me pretty hard, and I struggled to withstand them. But as I finally found some deep strength from within, I was able to see that the life I am in the midst of may be hard and feel terrible at times, but those are only moments. The real life that I live is a beautiful one. Its's a miracle, really. I have been learning this year that change is okay. In fact, change is a good thing. To live every day the same as the one before would get old fast. 
Today, I am thankful for change. Sometimes it comes slowly and sometimes it comes all at once. It may feel like it is too much to bear, but I know that it also brings the greatest blessings to our lives. Nothing great was ever achieved by staying in the same place. Just in the past few years, change has brought me a second home, irreplaceable new friends, and an amazing other half to my life that I never knew existed. And I am so grateful!
