Happily Grateful

Thanks for joining me on this journey of picking a life of joy and gratefulness, I’m glad that you’re here! There are so many things to be grateful for, and I want to try to focus on all the blessings God has provided me.

I’m a young writer from Southern Ontario, and I’m on a mission to spread the gospel in day to day life, through my actions, words and writing. Apart from writing, I spend my time doing loads of creative things such as reading, painting, drawing, baking, sewing and really anything crafty – I’m always ready to try something new! I love going on long walks in creation (especially in the rain) and will always be sure to have a camera with me to take pictures of this, that and the other thing. I make tea every morning to take to school with me, and I usually have another cup or two in the evening. I like to say I’m an extraverted introvert, and I love to just cozy up on my own to do something on a cold or rainy day.

As I sit here and type, I’m 7 hours away from leaving home for the airport. At 6:15 tomorrow morning my flight departs for a trip across the country. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to get to travel to a beautiful island in B.C. to work at a marina. I’m so grateful to my parents for letting me embark on this adventure, and setting me up with such a big support system. I will be writing a new post every week with new information and updates of all that I’m getting up to with my friends and cousins, and plan to do the same when I’m back in school afterword – but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Thanks again for joining me! Your friend, Emily.
