Grateful for What I Don’t Have

Between an action-packed summer road trip and a Vegas Christmas, we’re laying low for Thanksgiving. And that gives me plenty of time to ponder what I’m really grateful for.

I’m usually in awe of all the wonderful things I have: the love around me, my environment, and what I accomplished. But this time, I’m grateful for what didn’t happen.

I learned earlier this year that I didn’t have a life-changing disease. I witnessed the miracles that show up when I can’t control a situation. I’ve been surprised by what happens next when all of my looked-great-on-paper plans went awry.

The bullets I’ve dodged this year just blow my mind. And I can’t take credit for anything. It was just miracles and lucky breaks.

So, let’s celebrate our good fortune – not only what happened, but also what didn’t.

Happy Thanksgiving!
