Thankful.

Isolation. No one wants to feel alone. I don't want to feel alone. Are you in the same situation? Similar? What are you feeling? 

When I read about what other people are dealing with, the amount of pain and confusion surrounding their every word, I became thankful. Thankful that wasn't me. Thankful I didn't have it worse. Details can make all the difference. Same but different. 

However, thankfulness is not an overwhelming feeling. It is something you have to hold on to. Other emotions threaten to flood my everything. 

Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. 

For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. 

Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you. 

Psalms 33:20-22
