Mission Gratitude

I have to admit, I've been putting off ending this blog. The one year mark passed days ago, but this blog has become a part of me over the last 365 days. Now, there are 365 entries here, each saying thank you for something or someone that has impacted my life in the past year. This project has been a powerful constant during the most eventful and life changing year for me so far. I cannot even begin to reflect on everything that has happened since March 1, 2010 that will forever make me a stronger, more passionate person.

Since I have redirected my thoughts to be gratitude-driven, I have not had a single day where pain, anger, or sadness has taken precedence over wholeness, love, and joy. Things this year have by no means been easy and there have been more tears and hurt than any other time in my life. But the blessings outnumber these sorrows tenfold and I go to bed each night with thanksgiving on my heart. Even in the hard times, I am grateful for the lessons I have learned and for the way I have grown from them. I will never be the same, and for that the words "thank you" will never be enough.

In gratitude.
