Last Friday in therapy, our conversation was centered on appreciation. It made me slow down and really think about the things I sometimes take for granted. Too often, life moves so quickly that we forget to notice what’s already here, what’s already holding us up, and what’s already worth celebrating.
I appreciate that I am alive. That simple truth feels bigger the more I sit with it. Being here, breathing, waking up each day with another chance to live, to learn, to love, is something I no longer want to overlook.
I am thankful for the small but meaningful circle of friends that I have. They may not be many, but they are enough. They are the kind of people who make ordinary days lighter and difficult days more bearable. Their presence reminds me that love doesn’t have to be loud or grand; sometimes it’s just in the quiet check-ins, the shared laughter, or the understanding silence when words aren’t needed.
And above all, I am deeply grateful that my mom is still here with me. Her presence is a constant source of comfort, strength, and love. Knowing that I still get to spend time with her, hear her voice, and share life with her is something I treasure more and more each day.
Life is not always smooth or perfect, but when I choose to notice the things I already have, I realize how much beauty there is around me. Appreciation shifts everything. It turns ordinary into extraordinary, it makes scarcity feel like abundance, and it reminds me that even in the middle of struggles, there are always reasons to be thankful.
