Thankful Thursday #229

After a three month absence from blogging there are a plethora* of topics and articles to choose for this return; anything from a general life update to any one of the dozens of movie reviews I have waiting to be edited. I'm going with a blog staple, Thankful Thursday, because it always seems to put life and it worries and concerns into perspective.

There are situations that can unnerve me for a time, causing deep anxiety, sleepless nights, and analyse paralyse. In the face of these "storms of life" Counting my blessing resets my thinking and helps me say, "God is good in spite of the storm, it is well with my soul." I am reminded of that God is bigger than any situation.  Also, it shows me I am very blessed.

This month I've been thankful for...
