Because

I've been pretty content with life for the past month, and of course no good things last forever, so I figured I'd share some thoughts.

I am thankful for the huge pile of dirty laundry on my floor, because it means I have clothes to wear

I am thankful for the sound of my mom nagging me from the other room, because it means I have the ability to hear, and parents who love and care.

I am thankful for the annoying blurriness of my contacts because it means I can see.

I am thankful for the fact that I am wasting time right now instead of doing homework because it means that I have time to waste.

I am thankful that I have massive amounts of homework to do because it means that I am blessed with education.

I am thankful I am worried about tomorrow's math test because it means I have emotions, and that I am therefore only human.

I am so thankful for music and writing because both are such HUGE parts of my life and I can't imagine life without them.

Lastly, I am extremely thankful for my friends and family, who are so caring and supportive, and have been the main reason I am so content with life. (:

I am a really really lucky person.


Maybe last year I wouldn't have had any of those thoughts. I could only see one end of the spectrum, and as a result, would gripe and moan about all of my life's difficulties. The difference between now and last year shows my growth mentally, and how my perspective has changed. I am happy to see that since I am constantly looking for ways to improve myself and become a better person.

Life is good.
