I am incredibly thankful for the simple things in life because they are what keep us grounded. Whether I’m catching up with my husband after a long day at work, writing in my journal or cross-stitching, I value my downtime as a way to unplug from this crazy world we live in today. People seem to thrive on drama and that has made me focus on the things that are truly important. The older I get, the more I realize that things don’t make me nearly as happy as moments do, and I thank God for that every day.
