Week 13

During the season of giving thanks i think of my life and the many things that i have. It is a change from the normal. I normally think of what i have and it is easy to overlook what i already have and what i have gained.  First of i must mention that i am thankful for the simple things that we all take for granted. Things like a roof over my head food on the table running water and clothing. I am also thankful for being alive. We can be gone in an instant and i am thankful for everyday that i get a chance to make something out of my life. These simple things make the core of what i am thankful for, but there are other things that i am also grateful for.

I am grateful to have a job a year ago i went from working at a fast food place to being unemployed. I regained my job there but  i was unhappy with my life. I was fresh out of high school jobless and depressed. But then i got a slightly better paying job and a job that was easier. I am grateful for this job. I am also grateful that i was able to get my hands on a new car this year. After my old car broke me down i had to take the T and i was constantly late. This new car helps me get to were i want whenever i want. I no longer have to walk at 10 am 3 miles to my house. I am grateful for being emotionaly neutral. Although i would love to be happy and fired up about everyday i no longer feel sad, and i am grateful to be in a stable state of mind.

I am grateful to be in good health. I have no medical problems i can run jump throw and dance.
Finally i am grateful to be back in school. The semester has not been a breeze and i still have to work on my focus but I am grateful to have a chance to learn new things and advance in life. I am grateful for this chance to learn skills that will help me acquire a job that i truly love. I will remind myself that i have all these reasons to be thankful whenever i feel things are crashing down on me.
