Today, you’ll read lots of pieces about why you should be thankful and articles where writers list what they’re grateful for.

I love that, today especially, people take the time to remember how much they have and that they’re fortunate to have a loving family or supportive friends.

However, there’s one person always missing from those lists. This is one person you should be most grateful for: yourself.

We always seem to forget ourselves, don’t we?

But if you think about it, there are endless reasons why you should take the time to acknowledge and be grateful for you.

1. You are here

You may have experienced moments this year that made you believe you wouldn’t be here right now. You didn’t know how you’d survive or make it to the end of the year, but here you are.

Be grateful for your strength.

Every day, even if you were hurt or tired, you were strong enough to get up from bed to try and do something. Even if you didn’t get up until four in the afternoon, you stood, didn’t you?
