I was one of those kids who enjoyed this assignment in elementary school. I guess it was the early writer in me. Well, I'm grown now, but I'm going to do it anyways. I want to share the things I'm grateful for, as well as putting those things into perspective for myself. So here goes, y'all.
How you feeling?
Give thanks and breathe it in
Give thanks and breathe it in.
‘Cause we’re blessed.
I believe that part of being thankful is acknowledging the blessings in your life. I was listening to the song "Blessed 2 Have" on Floetry's latest Cd, and it really made me think.
Blessed to have another moment,
Some more time spent,
Some more minds to get into.
Blessed to have another daydream,
Another maybe, Yeah.
Those lyrics really made me think. It's been a rough year for me. I've dealt with a lot of different things with school and with my family, especially with my mother. I've lost good friends, or friends that seemed to be good. I've dealt with so much heartache and disappointment, almost too much for one person. That's where I have to stop feeling sorry for myself. As Christians we're taught that God never puts more on us that we can bear, so there it is. I had hard times, but I was HERE to have them, and that's what I'm thankful for. So many people lose their lives, or don't even live to see 22.
I may not have done all of the things I wanted, or done all of the things I needed to do, but I have tomorrow. That seems like a procrastinator's mantra, but it's true. I'm thankful I have some sort of freedom, and a relationship with my family that allows us to beef, fall apart, and then reconvene. I'm thankful for the real love I have in my life. (FINALLY)
Chances are there’s still a chance.
Forever is your state of trance.
Give thanks.
Breathe it in. . .
I have many opportunities that people before me did not have. Hell, there are people today who don't have the opportunities that I have. I think about that so much right now. I'm thankful that when I mess up, there's still hope for me. Some things are one shot, and some things are trial and error. I'm thankful for the options.
Enjoy your holiday.
