Life is so good. And I feel the need to document that I a) do not have to force my gratitude today, and b) have too much of it to fit on my daily gratitude list or even in a single blog post.

Document this, Elizabeth. Document it and Remember. Store it away for the lousy times. To remind yourself that life comes in ups and downs. That life will not always feel or be good. And that any pain which comes, will wash out with the tide as well.

Do not despair, Future Elizabeth. For God carries us through the tides of both joy and pain.
