Gem to Ponder // Say Thank You, Celebrate, + Grow.

life

[source. print quote by Shauna Niequist]

In every season,

no matter the season,

be thankful.

Life doesn’t need to be all sunshine + rainbows

before you can say thank you.

Say thank you for the goodness.

Say thank you for the kindness.

Say thank you for the bitterness.

And when your life feels like its crumbling.

Say thank you for the journey.

Say thank you for the past.

Say thank you for the present.

Say thank you for the future that’s yet to come.

Say thank you with a smile.

Say thank you with a broken spirit.

Say thank you because throughout it all,

life is always about celebrating the sweetness,

and growing through the bitterness.
