Battle early (and often?)

I've always "battled" back with thankful lists when I needed reminders of my blessings. It fills me right up. And tonight I KNOW I have lots to be thankful for...yet I can feel some things creeping up on me. So I'm battling early, before it even gets to a point of necessity.

Thankful for...
