Thankful Thursday

Many might think after reading this that I'm crazy. Perhaps some of you will say, "that girl is certifiably nuts." And you'll probably all be right. :)
But here goes anyway, I hope none of you ban together to have me committed!
Today I am thankful for PTSD. I know what you're thinking. HOW ON EARTH could anyone be thankful for PTSD? But I am, at least today I am. So hear me out...

I am thankful that PTSD has taught me patience.
I am thankful that PTSD has not defeated my marriage.
I am thankful that PTSD has reminded me WHAT I have to fight for.
I am thankful that PTSD has taught me what is WORTH fighting for.
I am thankful that PTSD has shown me WHO I am fighting for.
I am thankful that PTSD has given me a new appreciation for good days.
I am thankful that PTSD has given me perspective on the bad days.
I am thankful that PTSD is NOT stronger than my God and
I am thankful that PTSD will not win this battle.


Today I choose to be thankful.

Your attitude doesn't choose you, you choose your attitude! Kudos to you for choosing to be thankful! :) This encourages me to be thankful, too.

Hi,
I'm a new follower just thought I'd pop in, say hi and say that I absolutely loved this post.
Perspective can drastically change the way a situation turns out, so true! I kind of blogged about that today. Thank you for being thankful! Look forward to reading along.
