for the simple life principles I've been taught by my parents, friends, teachers and leaders
treating others kindly
telling the truth
pursuing my dreams
for being taught to know right from wrong
for a job.
No it is not a receptionist at a salon.
No it is not working at the Dry Cleaning, like I'd hoped.
Nor is it Gator Jacks or Kiwi Loco.
But I am employed.
I get to choose my hours and can be super flexible.
I get to wear casual clothes.
I get to work with my best friend.
I get to have friendly advisors.
I get to work at a Call Center.
for having a beautiful family to live with
Who give me so much.
Who is helping me prepare for school.
Whom I can trust and go to at any time.
for the friends I have met
Who keep my spirits up.
Who throw great bonfires.
Who jump off bridges into freezing rivers.
Who eat taco bell at 2 in the morning.
Who climb trains and silos.
Who keep me safe..from scary movies.
for my trials
That are making me so much stronger.
for all my angels and supporters
You know who you are.
Today I am grateful
to be here
to be alive
to be healthy
to be able to smile and mean it
I am grateful for the contentment I feel
The Lord listens.
He hears.
He gives.
He Loves.
I am so grateful.
