I’ve learned that you will be so much happier with life if you focus on the things that you DO have, and not on the things that you do not. So, I thought I’d like to write a note regarding about the things that I have and am THANKFUL for in my life:

1) First off, I am thankful for the wonderful and most awesome Lord, Savior, and God that is in my life. Without Him, I would not be where I am at right now in life.

2) I am thankful for my family, my mom and dad for always taking care of me, for always having to put up with my bullshit and hard head and for always loving me no matter what and for putting a roof on my head, for putting food on my plate, and most of all, for providing an education to pursue. And for my sister, who has always looked out for me.

3) For school and college, and for my parents paying for my tuition. I owe it to my mom especially.

4) For a few of my friends who have always been there for me through thick and thin. They know who they are and I am so thankful for having them in my life.

5) For my adult friends who I turn to receive advice from because they know so much more than my peers…and are much wiser, although youth like to think otherwise!

and so much more that I cannot list because there is too much to say!!

and this list too

- I’m thankful for a broken heart, because it helps me be strong.

- I’m thankful for my parents screaming at me, because it shows they really care and that I have parents.

- I’m thankful for having to clean my house, because unlike others, I have a home.

- I’m thankful for the people who talk behind my back, because I know who my true friends really are.

- I’m thankful for moments that bring me down, because then I notice the good moments that cheer me up.

- And, I’m thankful for this imperfect life, because everyday teaches us a new lesson.

I have so much things to thank you for. A LOT

1) Thank you for helping me do well on my western civ test. To be honest, I don’t think I deserved that grade, but God speak I’ve somehow, with Your help, were able to make it through that exam. Please, please help me on my next one.

2) Thank you for helping me through chemistry. Although that class is incredibly easy, dumb, redundant, and also full of idiots that remain incompetent—I would have never done so well without Your help. You’ve always helped me to remember everything when it comes to an exam.

3) Thank you for helping me pass my nursing entrance exam, aka HESI.That class took an incredibly long time to finish. Ugh!! But, God-willing, I was able to make it through that exam without having to re-take a single part. He he =)

4) Thank you for blessing me with the opportunity of getting into the nursing program, here at swau. I know it’s easy to get in, but hopefully, with Your help, I can be able to stay in it and make it through.

5) Lastly, this has been on my mind, but I should be thankful for bringing back him to this school. I prayed so hard about it over summer, I kind of regret asking for him to be back on our campus. I mean, I love him, but I don’t really do with him. To be honest, although it might hurt a lot, I think I’d be extremely better off if he doesn’t come back here next semester…I would definitely get over him for sure. Sigh.
