While it’s the beginning of the year and we are all making goals and plans to become better, let’s make sure we are also being thankful. Thankful for what we learned from last year. Thankful for hard paths taken, discipline applied, doing the right thing, getting past a hard obstacle, and not giving up…even though you wanted to.

I am thankful for the sleepless nights, hand cramps, miles and miles driven, negative comments, constructive criticism, positive feedback, encouragement, (lots of) rejection, tears, effort, trying something I never have before. All of of it. Last year was the hardest year I pushed myself with my art. This is, I have bigger plans. Its intimidating, but I can be excited now. Because I now I’ve gotten through difficult times and those won’t end. Neither will the good times.

What are you thankful for?
