A walk with Leo through Apple Orchards
When Thanksgiving rolls around, we finally take a breath from our chaotic lives to reflect on all the things we are thankful for. I love seeing all the messages of gratitude, love, and hope on my Facebook and Instagram feeds. This type of reflection is something we should all do more often. While making a list of all the things, opportunities, and people that I am thankful for, I conversely thought about all that I strive to attain and currently do not have. A thought had passed me. Was I not truly appreciative of all that I have? How do I maintain gratefulness without being complacent? And like so many seemingly opposite things in this world (eat vs. exercise, certainty vs. desire, Mike & me), I'm learning how to master these delicate balances... admittedly some better than others! Yet, I can't help but feel that all things worth fighting for somehow unbalances your life. Regardless, we have to keep moving!

I so <3 your Blog posts. I wait around for them. This is so true! I often think just that... I do I stay energized, not complacent, but at the same time thankful for all I have. It's a fine balance. One day at a time. =)
Betsy, you are too sweet and I am sooo happy you can relate! Glad we're not alone in this crazy world. =)
