We Have Much To Be Grateful For
Kelly Brown

During this Lenten season, I’ve attempted to start my day with a sense of gratitude for the life I have and the many blessings around me. Its allowed me to start the day on a positive note and served as a reminder that it’s never as bad as I think. Some things that I’m grateful for are:

  • My faith and the ability to have a vocation that allows me to share it openly.
  • My family that supports and encourages me and made me who I am.
  • My friendships that encourage and support me.
  • My sense of adventure and desire for out of the box experiences that push me to think differently.
  • Beautiful mountains all around me.
  • Coffee, need I say more.
  • Modern medicine that keeps me healthy as I’ve experienced an extended season of sinus infections and migraines.
  • Access to good quality fresh food.
  • Laughter and a sense humor. The ability to find humor nowadays keeps life from getting too dark and feeling hopeless in many situations.
  • For the curiosity and purity of children, who can and will change the world!

“Whoever you are, you are human. Wherever you are, you live in the world, which is just waiting for you to notice the holiness in it.”
Barbara Brown Taylor, An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
