The Little Things
November 25, 2014

Welcome to another edition of my journaling series! My prompt for you today is to think about a person (or a small handful of people) whom you are especially thankful for in your life. You may have never met the person (or they could be your best friend), they may have done something meaningful or modeled something meaningful, but think of someone who has deeply impacted your life (and are thankful for that).

There are so many people I think of when I think of people I’m thankful for. One is my friend Sandy (not her real name), whom I met in 2006. I was coming off the death of someone close to me, and I was overwhelmed. Sandy became my mentor, and helped walk through this loss with me. I learned so much from her, and I definitely would not be the counselor I am today if I hadn’t met her. A few months after I met her, she was diagnosed with stomach cancer, and died just 10 months after I met her. Our relationship was really short, but she made a big mark on my life, and I think about her regularly as I counsel others. I think about what Sandy did in my life, and I try to emulate that for others who have been placed in my life as well.

So, in this week of thanks here in the U.S., I challenge you to think about a person you’re thankful for in your life. Spend a bit of time writing down what they did for you, and what you learned from them. How can you incorporate part of who they are or what they’ve done into your own life?

Now it’s your turn to share! What person are you feeling thankful for this week?
