What if you woke up in the morning with only the things that you were grateful for the night before?I heard this question once and it really struck me. It challenged me to start praying differently. To start being more grateful for all those little things that we forget sometimes to be thankful for, all the things we take for granted.

This year’s Birthday looked different than all of the others that came before. Not many people get to say that they have chemo on their Birthday.

But throughout the day and weekend to follow, all I kept experiencing was an enormous feeling of gratitude. I will never be able to fully articulate what it means to be supported by a community of people like all of you. It’s like I got to make hundreds of Birthday wishes.

If we only get to wake up with the same things we are grateful for the night before, just know that you, friend, are definitely on my list
