"Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings." - William Arthur Ward
"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough" - Oprah Winfrey
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey everyone! I'm back and this time, I'm actually posting on Thanksgiving night. So yay. 1 point to Angela! (I was thinking of Gryffindor actually.) Anyways, getting back to the topic, I just wanted to say....Happy Thanksgiving!!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Hopefully, you all spent it with your loved ones; friends, families, & ahem...lovers. o(*≧□≦)o
Stuffing our faces with delicious meals such as a turkey is lovely. I hope everyone was thankful to whatever they had. As Oprah Winfrey once said, we should be thankful for what we have. We will never have enough if greed get to us.
What I am Thankful for
Today is a day of thanks. So I was thinking maybe I should tell you guys what I was thankful for this year. This year was a bit tough for me but nothing I couldn't handle. That's why when I usually thought of what I was thankful for, I couldn't. What am I suppose to be thankful for if I didn't have this and that? That was always in my mind. I always that the things I already had in my life wasn't great enough. That's why I came to a thought that I was getting this all wrong. That I was thinking the wrong way. Is having a family not great enough? Surely not.
I know that I may not have much or be as great as someone else. BUT, this was my life. I should just be grateful enough for living. It didn't have to be. What I had was already enough for me and I cannot be forever grateful for it. So, here it my list of thanks.
I AM THANKFUL FOR:
- God- as a Christian, I am forever grateful & will always be thankful for everything God has done for me, my family & basically for everyone. Even if I was in doubt & fear, He was always there for me. I am very thankful to you God. Thank you for always loving me and being there for me 24/7!! ୧༼✿ ͡◕ д ◕͡ ༽୨
- My family- Although we have our ups and downs, my family never fails to be there for me. My parents had provided me with a roof to live under, clothes, food, education, and many more! Just having a family should be enough for me. I am very thankful to them for always loving me even if I was a brat, being there for me, and supporting me. Thank you! I will always love you guys. (｡♥‿♥｡)
- My friends- Goodness. You silly group of friends that I have. I am probably serious when I say this. But you guys are probably the only reason why I still go to school. Even if I dread it, just thinking of your smiles and silly jokes you guys make, it's enough to keep me from staying home all day. You guys are there for me and make me happy all the time. I know I don't say it much and may not show it to you. However, I am very thankful to you all for being my friends. And for actually sticking with me all these times. (▰︶︹︺▰)
- Food- I should really be thankful for food. Many people, and by many, I mean A LOT of people always say that we should be grateful for food because other people in the world don't have the privilege to eat like we can. This, is actually true. There are many people dying and starving. So to be able to eat until we are full is a privilege. I am very thankful for the food that we eat. Very grateful that we can eat whatever we want to eat. I should eat in thanks. ♡(ŐωŐ人)
- Education- I know we all have that look when we hear the word school. How do I know? Because I always have that weird looking face when I hear it too. I honestly hate school. I don't like to wake up early in the morning to go to school. I do not like to learn for many hours and solve problems that are very difficult and might be useless to me. I had always thought of school as a prison, I probably still do. However, after watching a documentary about education in other places, my opinion about education changed. I should be thankful to have the opportunity to learn. Some kids cannot go to school even if they wanted to because they have no money, no time to go because they have to work, or it's illegal to. I felt so guilty that I wasn't taking education for granted while other people were willing to risk their lives to learn. Although I may not love school entirely, I am thankful that I am free to go to school and learn more so that I can be prepared for the future.
- So much More- I can list off a bunch of things that I am thankful for. It will be long so I will shorten it. I am thankful for my cat...yes my cat. It's been about 3-4 months since we had him. His name is Tigger and he is soooo adorable!! I am so lucky and thankful to have him. He makes me so happy and when I am stressed, I can just look at that adorable chubby cat and smile. Love ya Tigger~ ❣⃛(❛ั◡˜๑) I'm thankful for living in a country where going to school is allowed, where religion is tolerated, where many different people can come together and be friends. I am thankful for so many things!! In fact, I am very thankful that I am alive! Every little thing makes a difference so you should be grateful with what you have. Even if it's small, you should take it for granted.
