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.
