Thankful Thursday

Today I'm thankful for healing that comes along with time. One year ago at this very moment, I was totally and completely drained from head to toe after battling consecutive, ferocious panic attacks for what seemed years in itself. Although 48 hours had passed, I still felt like I had been hit by a semi and splattered in the road by thousands more.

I'm thankful that on October 6, 2008, my life changed. It hasn't been easy by any means, but it has built strength, endurance, love, and closer relationships.

I'm thankful for my dad, who was with me from the moment I melted until the moment I was able to return home.

I'm thankful for Sam, who never quit praying for me.

I'm thankful for my mom, who was the person who was able to snap me back into reality by simply stating, "Sarah, you are fine. You are going to get out of this bed, you are going to walk out of here, and we are going home to have spaghetti for supper."

I'm thankful for my babies. Thank God they didn't have to experience their mama in such a crazy state of mind. And although they weren't there, their presence in pictures covering my hospital bed brought me comfort and peace.

I'm thankful for my pastor at the time, who sat by my hospital bed and held my hand.

I'm thankful for you, Carly, Chris, Jerry, Katie, and Ronda...for all of your love and encouragement, over the past 365 days.

I'm just thankful. So thankful.

What are you thankful for today? (Don't be afraid to actually leave a comment and tell me!)

Big Love,
Sarah
