grateful.

Well, Journal, Thanksgiving is coming up and I am very excited. This means that I can see my family and my friends that I haven't directly seen in three months. I cannot believe it has even been that long, I cannot believe that I am actually here at this school and that I get to be here. I always had a weird feeling it wouldn't happen, but it did. And I am so grateful for it.

I've learned something about being grateful, and it's that it's not about feeling like you're grateful and saying so that you can convince everyone else, but it's actually feeling it and when you think about all you have you realize all the problems in your life are really not that bad, because you have so much that you can be happy about. Grateful=happiness. If you are not happy, you are not grateful, and if you are reading this right now, if you are walking and can see and hear and if you are breathing, you have something to be grateful about.

Now we all forget about these things we should be grateful because the world tells us we can and should have more, and I'm not saying you can't have more, but before you say you NEED it, think about it, DO you? Journal, my message I'm trying to get across to everyone, including myself, is to appreciate everything you have. We are blessed beyond our imaginations. Our very existence is a blessing. Happy Thanksgiving Journal, and until next time, be grateful. :)
