giving thanks: day 1

I don't claim to be religious. I don't go to church. I often struggle with faith.

But most every night, before I go to sleep, I pray. I make it a point to thank God for giving me the opportunity to live another day, for the wellbeing of my family and friends, and for anything else I am feeling grateful for -- including the little things. 

I really try not to ask Him for much, and when I do ask for something, I save it for last. I began praying to specifically to show my gratitude, and I try to keep it that way.

It seemed only fitting that this kick off my month of giving thanks ♡
