But today, I choose thankfulness.

December 4, 2025 by Sheryl J. Moore

For those of you who didn’t know, I used to be homeless.

I was pregnant with my first child, my AJ. ❤️‍🩹

I was unable to work because of my high risk pregnancy.

My ex-husband didn’t have half the work ethic I have.

My car was repossessed.

I was couch surfing courtesy of people I went to church with.

(I have to tell you that nothing will humble you more than having to live from others’ grace.)

I didn’t cry today. It is hard to believe that suicide changed my life 12 years ago.

But today, I choose thankfulness.

I am thankful for having a roof over my head.

I am grateful for my reliable transportation.

I am thankful for each of YOU!

I am grateful for my living family.

I am beyond grateful for my company, Wink, Inc.

And I am grateful for my work family.

Lastly, I am thankful for the boy who passed, but inspired and motivated me.
