I am greatful for this...

As I woke up today I really didn't want to craw out of the warmth of my bed. I sat there in my bed thinking, thinking about my life, my faith, my family, my friends, my job. I realized I have so many things in my life I am so thankful for. I am thankful for how much God has taught me this past summer. I am thankful for a family that loves me, cares about me, and wants only the best for me. I have a wonderful mom who is always showing me how to look at things with different perspectives. I have a sister who I can tell anything to. She Is always quick on advice and can always make me smile. I have a dad who is proud of me and everything I stand for. A brother who Is extremely smart, artistic, and inspiring to me. He is so selfless, and always interested in what I am doing. I want to be more like him. I have friends who are awesome! They are super funny and smart! I love all of them. I couldn't count the numerous smiles and memories they have given me. I have a great job working for a wonderful family. I am honored to be such a vital part of two wonderful kids life. I am amazed at how much they have taught me already. I am thankful for my healthy body that allows me to be active and adventurous. I have everything I need, and sooo much more. So why is it that I still seem to focus on the negatives in my life? "If only I had that" "If only I was smarter" "If only I had more time" "if only I had more money" "if only, if only, if only" Today I have made a goal. Every time I say I want something I will give something away. Every time I say something negative about myself I will say 10 things positive. Every time I pray I will start by telling God 10 things I am grateful for. Every day I will tell at least one person I am thankful they are in my life. Every day I am healthy and alive I will thank God.
