There comes a moment when you realize you’ve been surviving on the strength you didn’t even know you had. Every trial, every tear, every moment of stillness was preparing you to rise. Life moves whether we participate or not — but gratitude invites us back into the moment. This week, we reclaim our joy, not because life is perfect, but because we’re learning to be thankful in the imperfection.
Gratitude is not the absence of pain — it’s the awareness that even in pain, there’s purpose. And as we give thanks, we begin to heal. This week, let’s slow down, give thanks, and fall back in love with the life we’re still becoming.
