Since I didn't have something I was thankful for yesterday, I'm gonna write about 2 today.
(3) I am thankful for good friends. I had a walk and a talk with a kindred spirit today and it was so refreshing.
I've been feeling anxious about our current situation for no good reason. God's promised and it's been confirmed that this year will be one of significant change and increase for us. But now that I see that change start to happen, I'm getting nervous that it won't really happen or that they'll be trouble along the way or that it will somehow be more difficult than our current situation. I was talking about this with my friend and she voiced feeling the same way. We decided that when, in life, we reach a point of no return, we get scared because we can't go back - even though we *know* that what's in front of us is infinitely better than what we've been through. It's just that forward trajectory and the recognition of a chapter closing that's inducing anxiety.
But somehow, talking about this with her made that anxiety go away. It helps knowing that you've got friends that are along for the same ride you are. There's someone to hold your hand as the roller coaster takes off. It seems that company turns anxiety into excitement.
Yay for that.

YES! I've been feeling the same anxiety lately, but over finishing my tenure as a student. I keep needing a reminder of this, so thank you. xoxo
