Gratitude

Lately I have been thinking a lot about Gratitude.

In whatever I do, it just goes back to that. Gratitude means the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. Simple right?

So why does this matter and why am I spending an entire blog post about it.

Someone told me the other day how I was just a ray of sunshine. At first I was just a little school girl and was like aw that is one of the cutest things you could say to someone. Okay lets be real who wouldn’t want to wake up to something like that especially on a Monday. Not the point.

I don’t know it just got me thinking a lot about gratitude and what it means to me and how it has shaped me especially the last couple of months.

Things have not been busy. With classes and getting a job and finding free time and finding the perfect balance to survive has been one of the hardest things to do. Honestly though? I am making it work one step at a time. And if I didn’t have a great support system then I would probably be drowning in a black hole.

I have a best friend who has literally become my rock throughout the last two months. He takes time to email me and write me and to make sure I haven’t gone completely insane due to college. I give him props for dealing with my weird self on a weekly basis. He is pretty great.

I was pretty blessed with this semester. Even though I live on a hill that sometimes makes me want to claw my eyes out I still love it. I got lucky especially the fact that I have my own room when I wasn’t supposed to. Hello like that is lovely. I also don’t have too much of a heavy class load. I mean my visual media class sometimes makes me want to jump off a cliff but that’s another story for another day.

I am beyond lucky to have a job. Finding a job was probably the most stressful thing ever. I applied to a good four or five places and got a job at a place I was familiar with. My coworkers are cool and my boss is a trip to be around.

Heavenly Father has me at a decent place. I mean yes I would like some answers to some questions that I have. Patience is key and that is a fun little game Heavenly Father is teaching me currently. Especially when I am very impatient and I just want to figure everything out.

I am happy with what I have in front of me. Yes I am very excited for the future. I am very curious on where things are going to go but I mean I can’t plan every detail out as much I would like. I would like to know but I guess I am not to meant to know right now and I am going to be okay with it.

I am thankful for all of you whether I directly or indirectly mentioned you in this post. Thanks for sticking around in my crazy adventurous life.  ­­­­­­­

Until next time!
