Thoughts

  "If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back."

I've thought about this the past couple of days, as we've celebrated a holiday where we focus on our blessings and what we are thankful for. As for me, this quote rings true.

On this here blog, I've made known my problems and struggles. I've decided to just let it all out. Good or bad? I don't know. But I do know it's great therapy. :) I could think of so many other problems I could have in my life and realize mine are not so bad. Sure, they're no piece of cake. I sometimes curse them. But I believe in my Savior. I know he gives us trials because he loves us.

And so, I am thankful for my struggles. I am glad I know the bitter so I can taste the sweet. I'm thankful for the experience of a betrayal so deep and heartbreaking . I'm thankful for a long season of loneliness, so that I know how deeply I need friends/others. I've been broken down so I can be built back up. Slowly. One little piece at a time.
