30 Things To Be Grateful For

During the holiday season, we are surrounded by our loved ones and encouraged to be thankful for all that have. Sometimes, however, the big things surpass the small things and we fail to recognize the little moments that make us happy. Here’s to the little moments that make up our daily lives.

1. That feeling when you clean your ears with a cotton swab

2. When you send a risky text but you get the reply you want

3. When you got ready in a rush but somebody compliments how you look

4. Professor sending you an email headlined “Class is Cancelled”

5. Finding a parking spot when you’re running late

6. When somebody can’t even tell their story because they are laughing too hard to say it

7. When you watch something that inspires you and sparks something

8. When you meet someone and instantly find so many things you connect about

9. When you find something that you lost

10. When you finally get into your bed after a long day

11. When you’re really hungry and your friend gives you some of their leftovers

12. When you wake up before your alarm so you still have time to go back to sleep

13. First swig of hot coffee on a cold day

14. When you get invested in a book that becomes your escape

15. When you’re sick and your friend brings you soup

16. When you get unexpected mail from a loved one

17. When you actually like your haircut right after getting it cut

18. Watching military homecoming videos

19. When you get a position that you applied for

20. When you weren’t expecting it to rain but it downpours and you find an umbrella in your bag

21. When you finally reach the itch on your back

22. Warm clothes out of the dryer

23. When you’re wearing uncomfortable shoes and you finally get to take them off

24. New car smell

25. When a coworker covers your shift

26. When someone genuinely listens to you

27. When you’re in line at a restaurant and the person in front of you doesn’t know what they want so they let you go first

28. When there is a lot of traffic and you’re trying to switch into a lane and someone lets you in

29. When you’ve been holding in a sneeze and you’re finally able to get it out

30. When you wake up in the mornings feeling recognizing all the wonderful things you have, tangible or intangible

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends.

There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
