i can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life

Nov 23, 2006 00:51

so it's officially thanksgiving and i am therefore getting a head start on my thankfulness...or whatever.

i've actually been thinking a lot about what i'm grateful for-- not just because of thanksgiving, but because i'm very, very lucky, and i think it's important to recognize that and cherish it. i'm thankful that i have amazing people in my life who care about me, people who share pride in my accompishments and pain in my sorrows....especially my mother; even though i threw a shoe at her once, she loves me unconditionally, no matter how bratty i am [which, sometimes, is extremely bratty]. just being in my room among all of the little scraps of life i've saved reminds me that i've got it good. [not exactly proper english, but this isn't exactly a dissertation =P]. my friends...i don't think i can actually express in words what you mean to me and how much i love you. you guys just GET IT...and always have.

this is going to sound cheesy and retarded, but i'm also extremely grateful for my education. i feel like most of the teachers at shs changed my life in a positive way and really cared about my academic pursuits. i can definitely say the same for 100% of the teachers at etown. and i'm a better and wiser person because of what i've learned from them-- especially lessons that weren't necessarily on the syllabus.

i guess i could go on and list a million different things, but that'd be lame and really long and stuff. what it comes down to is...i love my life. it's not always perfect-- nothing is-- but sometimes it comes pretty freaking close. and those times outweigh the kind of sucky ones ten gazillion to one.
i wonder sometimes if everyone has these mini-epiphanies that make them realize life is beautiful. i hope so. because it really, really is.

thank you all-- you have made my life infinite in ways you can't imagine.
happy thanksgiving :)
