Thankful For...

 I am truly blessed beyond measure. I love writing down what I am thankful for because it helps me remember how blessed I truly am. These are just a few of the things I am thankful for.

All of my talents and abilities - makes me thank God for all the blessings he bestowed on me

All of my flaws - I am a human being, I am not perfect, but I am grateful for my flaws because they make me unique, as well as more grateful for the things that I am good at

Silence - in my chaotic life, sometimes I just like to sit and appreciate the silence

Traveling - I am forever grateful for all of the opportunities I have had to see the world and try new things

Smiles :) - I love smiling, smiles light up a room and can make someone’s day a little brighter

Desserts - they are so yummy!

The bad moments in life - they make you that much more appreciative of the good

Music - makes me want to get up and dance 

Books - help me escape reality and live in the story 

My bed and blankets - snuggling up in my warm, cozy bed is the best feeling

Mistakes - making mistakes help me learn and grow to become a better person

Movies and TV Shows - are the best thing to watch when you want to relax

Everyone in my life - has impacted me and made me into the person I am today

Determination - helps me finish what I started and push through tough times 

Chocolate - the taste of sweet deliciousness 

Flowers and small gifts - they are a reminder that someone is thinking of you

Sunrises and sunsets - help you remember how beautiful/amazing life is once you take a moment to stop and look around

Random acts of kindness - show that there are kind people in this world that want to make the world a better place

Generosity - fortunate people sharing their wealth with those who are less fortunate

I feel like I could go on forever! Life can get pretty chaotic at times, but when you take a moment to stop and look around, you will realize that life is pretty amazing, and you have so much to be grateful for.
