11 Reasons To Be Thankful For Your Dad

Dad's are one of the greatest blessings you will get in your life. No matter what mistakes you make your dad will support you through it all. At some points, you may not come to terms on the same things, but he has your best interest at heart. Be grateful for all the things your dad does because he does them for you.

  1. He always knows what’s best. Even if you don’t see it, he does. You might not agree but he will always have your best interest. If he tells you no, accept it.
  2. They will give the best guy advice. If your dad does not like your boyfriend, trust him on that. He doesn’t want you to get hurt and time will prove him right.
  3. They will always support you. No matter what your crazy dream is, your dad will be right by your side.
  4. No matter how old you are, you will always need your dad. There is not an age in life where I think I won’t need my dad. For all the little things in life, and the big things.
  5. Who else would do the voices for bedtime stories? We all remember going to bed and every time you make your dad do the voices. The story is just never the same in monotone.
  6. They try so hard to be good at girl things. Remember those days in elementary when people knew your dad dressed you and did your hair? It’s the thought that counts.
  7. They show you how you are supposed to be treated. I will never settle for a guy who doesn’t treat me like my dad does. A dad is a daughter’s first love and they will never break your heart. Dad's set the standard for every man in your life, and sorry guys but the standards are pretty high.
  8. They will always be your hero. My dad will do whatever it takes to get me the best in life. I will always appreciate everything he does for me.
  9. Your sentimental gifts to them will always make them tear up. Every time you bring up something about being their little girl, it is an automatic tear jerker. Being a daughter gives you access to tug on the heart strings a little.
  10. They push you to do your best. You may think they are being hard on you, but they can see your potential. They push you because they have high expectations and know you can do it.
  11. You will always be blessed with a good man in your life. Through the thick and thin, I will always be a daddy’s girl.

Eleven reasons are not nearly enough to be thankful for the impact you made on my life. I love you, Dad.

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

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. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. 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. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

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.
