8 Things To Remember To Be Grateful For This Christmas

In This Article:

The holidays should be a time of peace, love, and happiness as cheesy as it may sound. The most important one is love- the time we get for winter break should allow us to reflect on what matters most.

1. Your health

This is often the first thing we take for granted until we are sick or injured.

2. Your friends and family

No matter how small your circle may be, everyone is loved by someone.

3. Your home

Home is a feeling; so wherever or whatever your home may be, be grateful that you have one.

4. Opportunities

Giphy

I am most grateful for my opportunity to education, in which I often remind myself to take advantage of.

5. Access to food/water

Many will not have this privilege on Christmas, so it is especially important to be grateful for it.

6. Pets (if you have them)

Giphy

Being away for college makes me realize how much I miss my pets.

7. A break from school/work/etc.

A couple weeks of stress-free living is certainly something to be grateful for.

8. The holiday spirit

This makes people nicer in general, so be thankful that people are in a better mood.

Merry Christmas, and keep the spirit of Thanksgiving going.

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.
