Taking Ownership & Giving Thanks

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

Albert Einstein

This week is the start of Gratitude Week, and a season of reflection -- looking back at 2019 and remembering the people, places, things, occurrences, and providence that impacted me deeply.

First, I want to break Thanksgiving into two words:

Thanks - noun

Usually thanks. a grateful feeling or acknowledgment of a benefit, favor, or the like, expressed by words or otherwise.

Giving - verb (used without object), gave, giv·en, giv·ing.

to make a gift or gifts; contribute

The way that I am interpreting the definition here is that expressing gratitude is a gift to yourself and to others.

This year has been one of the most transformative of my entire life, and I want to take a moment to thank everyone:

1.) Taylor Decker
