Its interesting at times to figure out where my mind is tonight. I am thinking about friends who maybe aren't where they need to be on the "happiness scale". I know that I can't take on their burdens as my own because mine are enough to handle without taking on someone else's. Its been a good thanksgiving weekend up here in canada. I'm going to work tommorrow even though its a holiday because I feel as if i've had enough time off. I went up to Banff for the night on friday with some guys for my friends bachelor party. Nothing to crazy, we just had dinner and took him to the hot springs. It was a good time meeting and getting to know some new people. Saturday was dinner at my rents place up in didsbury, my brother and I got up there a little late because I practiced with the band for the first time in probably three months in the morning. Mom made a fantastic turkey dinner with the works. Pie, stuffing, the veggies, the sweet potatoes, its always so good! Today I slept till 2 in the afternoon. I don't usually do that but I guess I was really tired! Did some laundry this afternoon and then chuch tonight. Church was really dead, there's wasen't a lot of people there because of it being thanksgiving I guess. Tonight has been a quiet night and i'm thankful for it. Its nice to just sit and be alone with my thoughts sometimes.
Gratitude is a choice...do you realize that? Do you know that its your choice whether or not you want to be grateful for every experience. Do you believe that we ought to be thankful for every experience whether good or bad? I sure do. The reason for that is that all experiences whether good or bad make us who we are and continue to help us grow into the people we want to become. You have been placed on earth at this exact moment in time for a reason. Are you happy with your life right now in this situation? If your not its time to either do something about it to change it or to accept it as the best case senario for your life right now. Believe that you've been put into this situation for a reason, believe that its happening right now because its making you a better person.
