Have I Forgotten To Say Thank You?

Sometimes life gets busy and we forget to appreciate and be thankful for the one who gave it all to us.

Dear God,

Did I forget to say thank you?

Lately I've been reflecting upon instances in my life and periods where I know you were guiding me. I look back on the struggles, the obstacles and the heartaches, and realize just how many amazing things and people have come out of some not-so-amazing things and people.

I feel blessed. My life may not be perfect or balanced 100% of the time, but I do feel that with your help, I have been able to at least do the best I can each and everyday, and for that I want to say thank you.

Thank you for the blessings you've given me, that I didn't realize were blessings at the time. I now know it's true that things will happen that are meant to, and I know now to be patient with the things I pray for.

Thank you for removing the toxic people from my life. Although, the ways in which these people have removed themselves from my life were not always easy, I am forever grateful that you have helped remove something from my life that was only bringing me down, or would only bring me down if they did not leave.

Thank you for the people you've brought into my life. To keep it short and simple, thank you for the amazing friends and family I get the ability to cherish every single day. I am so blessed with my support system and know that it wasn't just a chance that these blessings found their way into my life.

Thank you for giving me my intuition. If there is one thing I love about myself, it's the intuition you've given me. I know in my heart when a situation doesn't feel right and only good things have come out of my hesitancy. I have been able to recognize when someone would not be good in my life just by that feeling or vibe from my intuition and it's always been spot on.

Thank you for never giving up on me. I know I am not perfect and that perfect is just about as unattainable as pigs flying... but I will continue to strive to be the best version of myself for this world and I'm grateful for your patience and guidance when things have gotten rough.

Thank you for the struggles I've endured and the hardships I've faced. Without these things in my life plan, I would not be the same independent and strong willed person that I am today. I recognize even more as life goes on, just how much things happen for a reason, and this has helped me find light in each situation I've faced.

Thank you, once again, for blessing me with this life and this opportunity to grow each and everyday. I know you have created a beautiful plan for me and I cannot wait to fulfill my purpose you created me for, on this earth.

And lastly, thank you for watching over me and guiding me even when I do forget to say thank you.

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.
