I'm Thankful For...

my family, the beginning and end for me.

Emily and Jenny, my soulmates, everything we've been through and everything we will go through...together.

every single one of my Rockhurst friends, for making me laugh and just being there for me when things are tough.

Cindy, down in Campus Ministry, for making me take care of myself and being someone I can relate to in so many aspects of life.

My Rosati friends, even though we don't see or talk to each other as often as we should, I know that they are always there. Also just for being the strong, loving women that they are...we helped to make each other who we are.

for Rockhurst. For the opportunities this school has given me for an education, for finding out who I am and what I believe, and to do what I want most...serve.

for my oldest friend in the world, Michelle, my sister in everyway but blood.

for the youth group. The teens bring so much joy and light into my life, and AYM has brought me some truly beautiful friendships.

for Gabe, who helps me to see more clearly who I want to be, and really, just makes me happy.

for my home. I know that it's more than many have, and I'm grateful every day for it, as well as the ability we have to share it.

for my home parish and the network that has been built up around us these past few months, I can't even begin to tell you what a blessing it has been.

for the rain that makes everything clean again and makes the sun shine a little brighter.

for time. Time to appreciate each other and everything we've been given. Time to do what we can. Time to become more giving and loving than ever before. Time to follow our dreams and our hearts. Time to grow and become the best-versions-of-ourselves, living saints.

for my faith. The most important thing in my life. The speck of light that keeps me fighting through the darkness. My strength and my guide.

...all this and so, so much more. Take an honest look at life and appreciate all the beauties held in it.

Love and prayers
Sarah
