The Four Things I Am Grateful For Year Round

SO much gratitude and praise to you.

The Four Things I Am Grateful For Year Round

I do not know about you, but I am an individual who is busy a majority of the time and who never has any time to just sit still and give praise and gratitude to the ones who need it most. So, even though Thanksgiving has passed, I came up with a little list of some of the things that deserve a little extra recognition than they usually get.

Health

Health is such a major thing to be thankful for. I know many people who have such bad health and I do not give my health enough credit. This past year has been one of the greatest years of my life, and have been able to do so many things that wouldn’t have been possible without being on my tip top health game.

Friends

When I say friends, I do not mean the friends that are there when they need something and disappear when that need is met. I mean the friends who are constantly checking in on you and personally wanting to know how you are doing in every aspect of life.

Faith

Faith is a major part of my life because without my faith, I would not be the person that I am today. I thank God each and every day for all that he has done and is constantly doing in my life. Sometimes life gets hectic and things don’t go the way that you planned them to, but I can always count on my God to take control of the situation and my gratitude to him is so big.

And last, but certainly not least……

Family

My family has become a huge part of my life. Leaving home and moving 2 hours away to attend college has been a huge adjustment, but I know that I can pick up my phone and call any one of my family members and know that they will be there to help without a doubt. Family is the biggest part of my life now and I cannot thank each and every one of my family members for all that they have done for me.

We all have certain things that we need to remember to be thankful for year round; what are some of yours?

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.
