I am thankful for...
Life.
Yes, the ins and outs, the ups and downs. Life in general is something to be thankful for. The ups are amazing, as anyone will say... but the downs? They grow and challenge us. They make us stronger and even the downs make life beautiful.
Life is hard. Especially these days. I say that, but you know what? Life was hard before we had technology, before media had so many outlets. Life was hard before the improvements in medicine, before electricity. It's ALWAYS been hard. It always will be.
But the moments in life that challenge us are the scars that we learn from and that help us improve and grown. They are beautiful, and strong, and amazing.
So yes, I am thankful for life. For ALL of our lives. I'm thankful for the struggles, even as they are happening. Because once I see the light at the end of the tunnel, the struggles are worth all of that and more.
Give thanks. Even for the rough times in life. Those are the times we need to give thanks the most because being thankful about the things that hurt and anger us, that's forgiveness, it's healing. It's strength, and it's powerful.
So with that said...
"Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son
And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us""

Also, This months essential oils for being thankful: Wild Orange, the oil of abundance.
Immortelle, the oil of spiritual insight.
Elevation, the oil of joy.
Today I want to talk about Wild Orange. It's one of my favorite oils. It smells so good and in all honesty when I've diffused it, I've felt at ease, calmer, and just happier, uplifted . We're coming in on the time of year for SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) Seasonal Depression. The time of being thankful is overshadowed by this gloomyness. Put some Wild Orange Essential oil into your diffuser and that should help.
Herb to help with Stress and Anxiety: Ashwaganda. I'm a little biased when it comes to this herb. With good reason. Ashwaganda is said to help with blood sugar, has anti cancer properties, and is a GREAT herb for thyroid health. It also is said to help with lung issues! Well, another thing its good for is stress and anxiety. It's the holidays! Don't even try telling me you don't get stressed or anxious during this time. Christmas shopping has begun for some and for others it's about to. Most people aren't completely done until December 24th. Even with all that help from Santa...
Christmas can stress even the calmest of souls. People get MEAN too. I can't tell you the amount of carts that have been purposefully barreled into me because I stopped to look at something and was in an impatient persons way. I WANTED to yell, I wanted to hit them back with a cart, but I figured if they had the gall to do that to me they'd be the person to try and press charges on me to retaliate. So I shake my head and move on... after I'm done looking 
I might even take longer! lol just kidding. Seriously though back to my point, I have been taking Ashwaganda for several months now for thyroid health and I'm calmer, I'm happier, and my thyroid is SO much better. It's an herb I most def recommend!Alright I've taken enough of your time for the day. Sorry if the length annoys you. I hope you learned something new and helpful and maybe even found a Christmas present you want or want to get someone else! haha Then you can give thanks for this post!
Have a great day and I'll see you tomorrow! 
Here is the writing prompt for the day also
