Id like to see what all in life i am grateful for, and to harp on those for a while! Living in the negative, is not something i want to make a habbit out of.
Day 2... The ABC's of being grateful
Using the ABC's as a rubric, create a list of the things you are grateful for.
(* www.gratitudechallenge.com *)
A- Aunt Alicia, She has been by far my best friend/relative for as long as i can remember being in the United States. My very first memory is of her giving me a piggy back ride at the Airport. She sent me birthday cards when no one else in my family ( excluding parents) remembered it was my birthday.. .IN fact she sent 8 cards.. haha... I love her like i would love a sister, she is absolutely wonderful and i am extremely grateful for her!
B-Brittany Freeman, Brittany is the Godmother of my son Chase. She is a one of a kind type of woman. She has an innocense about her that is so refreshing . In College we were suitemates, and in life we are the best of friends. Living in Germany is especially hard without my friends, but brittany is a friend that has kept in touch with me, even over the years, and the miles... ( we met in 2005). I love her so much and am so grateful that she is my friend.
C-Chase, My son Chase is by FAR the best gift i have ever been given. After trying unsucessfully for 2.5 years to get pregnant, God finally blessed Zack and I with Chase. He is the light of my life, and the reason i get up in the morning ( more than just because hes crying.. haha) I am eternally grateful to God for giving me such a precious gift.D- Dog, Rusty is like, the best dog ever, he made me smile on days when i didnt have a reason to smile. He has days when i want to throw him in teh street and forget about him, but for hte most part, Zack and i were truly blessed with him. I am grateful for my dog rusty!
E- Earrings, I know this is cheesy, but i really am grateful for earrings. To me they make an outfit, and let you express yourself by the type of earrings you wear. I mean think about it, If your wearing pearl studs, you obviously arent feeling like a rockstar, but more pretty, and if your wearing HUGE silver/gold hoops your feeling a little on the ethnic side, and if your wearing Bright pink leopard print star earrings you are probably feeling a little rockstar ish.. I love the way that i can express myself with earrings!
F- Facebook, For some strange and unapparent reason, i have switched my focus from Myspace, to facebook, and i am strangely grateful for the change. I like having a way to keep in touch with my friends, and family!
G- God, well duh! This one is kinda obvious. Without him, i would be nothing, i would not exist. My biggest gratitude would go to him. He is the reason for my being, and the reason i have everything that i do. I am eternally grateful for having such a wonderful loving father, friend, and God.
H-Home, I am grateful that i have always had a place to call home. Whether it was at home with my parents, at home with my roomates, or at home with my husband, and currently at home with my son. God has always provided me with a home, and i am grateful.
I- Internet... This alone has to be the best invention EVER, over the car i swear! Without internet, my life would be COMPLETELy different, and completely horrible. With internet i can keep in touch with my friends and family since i live in Germany, and i am able to see and talk with my husband everyday while he is at war in Iraq.
J- Jasmine... She is my niece, and as cute as a button and smart as a whip.. I love her to death!
L- Love, WOW... who isnt grateful for this right? Without love, my life would be horrible. I love my family, my friends, and especially my husband and son. I dont think life would be worth living if it werent for love.
M- Mom, She has her days. But for the most part, i love her to death, and dont know what i would do without her. I love you mom!
N- Nights rest- I am really grateful for the nights when i get to just rest. When chase sleeps early, i enjoy that time just to sit on the couch and read and rest... its nice just to be able to sit with no distractions, and have " me time"
O- hmmm O....Oatmeal rasin cookies They are my favorite cookies like ever! Gimme an oatmeal raisin cookie and a glass of milk, and i am a happy girl
P- Prayer, I am so grateful that i can talk to God through prayer, and know that he is listenting and i have someone to talk to at all times.. 24/7
Q- Quirky husband... Haha, there are some things that just work your nerves .... and when they are gone, you miss them REALLY bad... Well the quirky things my husband did when he was home.... I mess extremely and am very grateful that i have those things to miss.. and to look forward to for when he comes home!
R- Reading.. I love love love love to read! It is a great distraction from the world, and always gets my mind off of whatever im currently thinking of! I love a good book!
S- Stewarts wife Ashley... haha... couldnt think of how else to get her in here. Ashley has been my best friend through this deployment. We have talked to eachother everyday since Day 1 of the deployment. I dont think i would have made it through this deployment without her.. Love you Ash!T-Television, I am thankful that someone created TV, i just wishi had it! haha
U- Umbrellas? Hey, who likes to get wet when its raining right? Just a thought...
V- I am drawing a blank......
W- Weddings, I am grateful for that one special day when you get to dress up, have a party, and see your soulmate standing at the end of that isle going " wow " i cant believe im getting married, and that its my best friend! LOVE weddings!!In em, see em, have em, throw em... they rock!
X- hmmmm? porn.. haha j/k dont know anything that starts with X...
