As the last leaves flutter to the ground, their vibrant colors now a memory, I find myself reflecting on the transition from Halloween’s playful spookiness to the warmth of the upcoming season of thanks. This year has brought its share of challenges, particularly with my husband’s struggles with PNES. It hasn’t been easy, and there have been moments when uncertainty loomed large over us. Yet, as we approach Thanksgiving, I feel a profound sense of gratitude rising within me.
Despite the hardships we’ve faced, I am reminded of the countless blessings that surround us. Our love has been a steadfast anchor through turbulent waters. In each other, we find solace and strength; we share laughter that lightens even the heaviest days and quiet moments that deepen our connection. It’s in these simple joys—a shared meal, a comforting touch, or a knowing glance—that I realize our bond is unshakeable.
This season encourages us to pause and reflect, to acknowledge not just what is difficult but also what is beautiful in our lives. I am thankful for the lessons learned through adversity, for they have shaped us into who we are today. We have grown closer, more resilient, and more appreciative of each moment together.
As we gather around the table this Thanksgiving, I will hold onto the spirit of gratitude. I will celebrate not just the abundance of food but also the richness of our relationship and the love that fills our home. We may not have chosen this path, but together we can navigate it with grace and thankfulness.
In this season of thanks, I choose to focus on the light that shines through even the darkest times. Our journey may be different than we envisioned, but it is ours—filled with love, hope, and an unwavering belief in brighter days ahead.
