What a wonderful year this is turning out to be! I'm thankful for so many things, and so many people. I won't make a list of everything here, but I'd like to name a couple.
First, I'm so thankful for my relationships. For my girlfriends, all of my family, and Spencer and his family. It's terrific to have a strong support system, with lots of good influences and examples to follow. I'm surrounded with positive attitudes and constant encouragement. Anyone would find it hard to stay unhappy for too long in these circumstances, even the most dramatic of people ;) I can be a little cranky sometimes, a little whiny maybe, but I can't ever justify it for very long. I'm so very grateful for the people in my little circle of life, and for who I am becoming, thanks to their love and examples.
The second "thankful for" that I've been thinking about is a little more broad. I'm kind of amazed at the whole living experience, and how miraculous life is. There's so much we can do, so much we can learn, there's really no limit on how far we can go. I'm so thankful that I get to be alive, right now, right here, experiencing life in a way that no one else will. As alike as we all are, we're also so very unique, with different choices to make, different views on so many topics, different experiences and different ways of interpreting them. And, if we're attentive, we can learn from one another, gain even more knowledge through the experiences of others. Life is just fantastic and overwhelming and wonderful and humbling all at once, and I'm so thankful for the opportunities I have and the blessings I've been given.
Heading to bed now, glad I was able to express a little of what I've been thinking :) Good night everyone
