thanksgivings
Now that thanksgiving is over and done with, I can stop and reflect on all of those things that I am thankful for. I find that it's good to stop and realize how good we all have it, and that writting it all out allows you to see how blessed you are in life.
I am thankful that I was able to wake up today in good health, and that I was able to stand up and see the glorious day. I am thankful for all of my old friends from home, we've been together through the good and through the bad. I'm thankful for my new friends at Tufts, they are all awsome and have made it my second home. I'm thankful for all of my "church" friends that have helped me grow in my faith over the past 5 or so years, I would be lost without you. I am thankful for my family, they love me so much and more than I can ever even imagine. I am thankful for all of my relatives; always there with hugs, good stories, and great food ;) I am thankful for all of that which I overlook... life could be a whole lot worse...
Reflecting on that, life really could be a whole lot worse. I feel like we as a society tend to take things for granted. I know that I do. I often gripe about really petty, day-to-day stuff, but really, things could be a lot worse. I could be paralyzed, my parents could be split-up, I could have to drop out of college because of financial issues, etc. etc. God has given us all so much... "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, I used everything you gave me."
I realize that this post is somewhat incoherent, but when do I actually make sense anyway?
