10 Things I'm Grateful For

December 04, 2018

In honor of Thanksgiving, I've decided to list 10 things I'm grateful for and why I'm grateful for them.  Before I start, can you believe it's almost Thanksgiving? Well, by the time this is posted, Thanksgiving will have been long gone. Right now though, it's only a couple of days away! I can't wait! Let's get startedwith this list, shall we? 


1.  God

     I am grateful for God, because he is always watching over me. He guides me through every step in life and is there for me no matter what. Lately I've found that God is my dearest friend, comforter, and mentor.

2.  Work

     A lot of the time, I dread going to work. It's not easy, and I guess it isn't meant to be. Hard-earned money doesn't come from me sitting around all day XD. Through work I've been able to pay for my tuition without loans! I also get to buy a lot of useless junk to fill my room with (heh heh).

3.  School

     I can't believe I'm saying this, but yes. I've found that education is worth a lot! Kudos to my friends who are talented and creative and are able to pave a path for themselves through life. I am definitely not one of those people. I need school to help me develop skills that I can't find on my own. For that, I am extremely, extremely grateful.

4.  Internet (mostly)

     Without the Internet, I wouldn't be able to rant at you guys XD!! Sometimes, the Internet can be extremely strange ( like when I'm browsing through Pinterest and random pictures of Jello-ed salad pop up. I am still traumatized by that).  Besides that, we are able to travel the world and learn new things whenever we want! That's amazing, isn't it?!

5.  Books

     Ah. Books. Do I even have to explain? Books have provided me with knowledge, life lessons, and great entertainment! I think I'll always love books.

6.  Cartoons

     Okay, I've recently been watching a lot of cartoons on Netflix. One amazing one is Hilda. 11/10 recommend that one guys. It's adorable!! I love re-watching cartoons that I used to watch when I was younger. (Like Garfield, Total Drama, Spongebob, etc.) I think right now cartoons appeal to my desire to draw cute things. I get inspiration from them haha.

7. Free days

    I love having free days where I don't need to do anything. I usually clean my room, do some school work, watch Netflix (lol), or just chill on those days. In my opinion, everyone needs a day or so to reset.

8. Friends

   I've made some good Internet friends over the years, and I'm so grateful for them! Though I am terrible at keeping up with my friends blogs, I always love to keep up with them on Instagram and what not. Thanks for being cool, Internet buds! Slightly off topic, but another great thing about work is that I've been able to make some good friends there as well. I love you guys! (If any of you are reading this anyways, lol).

9. Nature

   Okay, I'm not going to lie. I rarely go outside. When I'm home, I love to gaze out my window just about 24/7. There's always a beautiful tree or bird to see out there.

10. Photography

   I'm not the best photographer, but I love taking a photo of the occasional sunset or tree. I love being able to have a physical copy of the memories in my life. 

(BONUS) 11. Family!

  I couldn't end this without showing my fam some appreciation. Without them, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Thank you to my family for keeping me on my feet and for making sure my head isn't in the clouds! You are all amazing and I love you, always. (Also, thank you mom for the delicious food. I really should start cooking a little more regularly XD).  


                                                                .   .   .   .   .   .

As always, I kept it short and sweet. I feel like I need to work on having more verbosity, hmm. (I always manage to get off topic in my foot notes, ugh XD).Anyways, those are a few things I've been grateful for lately. What are some things you've been grateful for? Let me know! Oh, and happy (late) Thanksgiving friends! 




                 Peace out guys,
