A Break in Thanksgiving

I've read posts before and wondered how they dare to be that open, but those are sometimes the ones that hold a gem of encouragement.

I have this word in various forms all through my house. Believe.
Usually they delight or encourage me, but not today. Today BELIEVE challenges me.

I am sipping gingerale, attempting to recover from the flu and I am angry. How many times have my plans been altered because of illness?
I struggle to give thanks today.

Even as I muster up the energy to type this, my eye catches the sun glinting off the page of a book lying open on the card table.
I love sunshine.

I guess that's one more to add to the list, simple as it is. Thank you Lord for sunshine.
