what i'm thankful for?

i used to be so.. NEGATIVE. i was so distracted by all the bad things in life that i thought, "what's there to be thankful for?" but i guess we just have to open our eyes & see the finer things in life; see all the blessings & gifts God has given to me.

i'm so thankful for the family i have. i know we can get on each other's nerves sometimes but we'll love each other no matter what. you guys supported me through it all & i'm so greatful for that. my parents, they work so hard just to support me & my 2 siblings. i know, i don't show my gratitude in return for everything you've done for me.. but you know i appreciate everything you do (: my siblings, you guys are so irritating! >:[ BUT! my life at home would be so boring & impossible to live with; & i love you guys anyways (: our family isn't perfect; we go through our struggles but we always stick together no matter what. the unconditional love you have for me is all i could ever ask for.

of course, you can't forget my friends (: you're the one's that i can rely on to be there in times of need, a shoulder to cry on, advice, food (HAHA!), someone to make me feel not-so-lonely, etc. if it weren't for you guys, life would be a lot harder to go through. so THANK YOU (: & YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! >:]

my church family (cfc youth & lifeteen), i'm so greatful for you guys. you guys done a lot for me, including helping me strengthen my bond with God (: & for always being there for me. THANKYOU ^________^

my life isn't easy; heck, who's life is easy anyways? NOBODY. in my whole entire lifetime, i've been through many obstacles & bumps in the road. i resented my life so much because of the constant hurt & pain i've been put through but now i've come to realize the purpose of all these. now, i'm A LOT stronger than ever & i've come to see life in a whole different perspective (: so here's to all the obstacles i've been through; hey now, life would be a tad bit DULL without them, right?

as weird as it sounds, i'm thankful for my last relationship. how long have i known you, almost two years already? haha, full of so many memories i can never forget; it's planted in mind. we've been through a lot, good and bad but i don't regret any moment spent with you. you've made me so happy in many ways possible but there were times were you really hurt me. although we're no longer friends (or are we? i don't know, we don't talk anymore), i'm glad i met you. thank you for everything kirsten; for loving me, caring for me, making sure i'm okay, being there for me, for keep me on track, for putting up with me, for making me happy, etc etc.. this list can go on forever, haha. but yeah, thank you.

i'm thankful for the house i live in. it may not be as "BIG" as my other friend's house but at least i have a place to go home to (: unlike some unfortunate families who don't have a home at all D; the food i eat, i'm DEFINITELY thankful for. without you, i'd be so incomplete :P

i'm greatful that my family has a stronger bond.
i'm greatful for my good health.
i'm greatful for my education.
i'm greatful for the eyes i have because i'm able to see.
i'm greatful for the legs i have because i'm able to walk.
i'm greatful for the hands i have because i'm able to write & whatnot.
i'm greatful for my mouth because i'm able to speak my mind.
i'm greatful for those who displayed a good influence for me to follow.
i'm greatful for those who lead me closer to God.
i'm greatful for those who inspired me.
i'm greatful for those who said "BLESS YOU" when i sneeze :P lmao
i'm greatful for those who give me hugs.
i'm just.. so damn greatful (:
etc, etc, etc.

this list could go on forever.. HAHA!

but anyways, have a happy thanksgiving & eat a lot of food. today's an excuse for you to eat as much as you want.
