a stranger's kind words

It is the best feeling to receive kind words from a stranger or someone you barely know.

It's a great reminder of how lucky and truly blessed I am.

Today was hectic and extremely stressful.

When I heard those words of kindness and sincerity said about me and my life, it reminded me to thank God for all the good I have in my life.

Too often we get so wrapped up in the "bad" of our every day lives, that we forget to stop, remember what we have, appreciate it and be thankful for it.

A special thanks to A.F. today for saying such thoughtful and kind words.

Here are a few things her words have reminded me to be thankful for:

- my family
- my friends
- the man in my life
- my job
- my students
- a roof over my head
- food on the table
- my education
- life

What are you thankful for?
