This time of year gets me thinking. I’m looking at everything I have and feeling a huge sense of gratitude. It’s easy to get caught up in the daily hustle. So, I’m taking a moment to pause. I want to share the top ten things I’m thankful for today. Maybe it will inspire you to make your own list.
- The People Who Get Me. You know who they are. My family, my friends, my circle. They are the ones I can call at any hour. They see me, support me, and laugh with me until it hurts. Having them in my corner is everything.
- A Body That Works. I’m so thankful for my health. For my legs that carry me on long walks and my lungs that breathe in fresh air. It’s a gift to be able to move and experience the world. I promise to take better care of this amazing machine.
- The Chance to Learn Something New. Every mistake, every challenge, every single day is a lesson. I’m grateful for the opportunity to grow. I’m not the same person I was last year, and I’m excited to see who I’ll become next. Let’s keep learning.
- A Really Good Cup of Coffee. It’s simple, I know. But that first warm sip in the morning is a small moment of pure joy. It’s a quiet ritual that starts my day on the right foot.
- Music That Hits Just Right. You know that feeling when a song comes on and it perfectly matches your mood? That’s magic. I’m thankful for the artists who create the soundtracks to our lives. It’s a universal language that connects us all.
- A Safe Place to Call Home. Having a roof over my head is something I don’t take for granted. It’s my sanctuary. My cozy corner of the world where I can recharge and just be myself.
- Unexpected Laughter. I’m talking about those deep, can’t-breathe belly laughs. The kind that comes from a silly joke or a ridiculous situation. Those moments are pure gold. They remind me not to take life so seriously.
- The Freedom to Choose My Path. I get to decide what I do today. I can choose my attitude, my actions, and my direction. That freedom is powerful. It means my future is in my hands. Time to make it count.
- Good Food, Shared. There’s something special about sharing a meal. It’s more than just eating. It’s about connection and conversation. I’m thankful for every plate shared with people I care about.
- Quiet Moments. In a world that never stops, I’m so grateful for silence. A few minutes to just sit, think, and breathe. It’s in these moments that I find clarity and peace. Let’s find more of them.
Until Everyone Hears,
Dr. K
