Grand Rapids Photographer // Made My Week – Vol. 25!

Life is just hard sometimes.  We all know it and all feel it…but some days it’s harder to find things to be thankful for than others.  This time of year makes it even worse.  It seems like all the bad things happen at one time, water leaking in the basement, water leaking into the living room, huge piles of snow to fight, no sunshine for days….the list could go on and on.  So, this week it was kind of difficult to write something that I am thankful for or that made my week.  BUT….I am thankful.  There is always something to be thankful for….you just have to clear the junk out of your mind and eyes to see it. 

When decorating our house, I found the perfect sign to hang in the kitchen/dining room area.  A daily reminder that there is always something to be thankful for.  I am SO thankful that I am healthy, my sweet little Addison is healthy and so is my husband.  Joe has a great job that supports our family and our beautiful home.  We get to do so many fun things all the time.  We have lots of food, clean water, heat and two running cars.  We have an endless amount of family and lots of great friends.  It’s so easy to not see what’s right in front of you, only seeing the bad and not the good….  Even though it’s not Thanksgiving, let’s all be thankful for what we have.  Not forget that we are safe and have our freedoms and not take it for granted!

I am SO excited to tell you soon about a program that a few other wonderful ladies and I are putting together to help show our thankfulness.  It’s going to be amazing!
