I believe sometimes, people (including myself) often take some things for granted.

We become to fixated on the things we don’t have that we often forget to appreciate the things we do have. There are people in this world who have more than me, I know that, but there are also people in this world that have a whole lot less. It’s time we start showing more gratitude towards what is right in front of us day in and day out, rather than wondering about what is out of our reach.

Today, I am grateful.

I am grateful for the family I have. They have given me all the love and support I could have possibly asked for and without them I would be lost.

I am grateful for the roof over my head, the clothes on my back, and the food that I eat. Sometimes I think we take this for granted, our basic necessities.

I am grateful for the education I have received throughout my years of schooling. My education has helped to better me as a person and has allowed me to expand my passions.

I am grateful for the friends I have made. Whether they are friendships that have come and gone, ones that have stuck it out, or new relationships that are still being built, I am lucky to have them all. Each person who I have crossed paths with has shaped me in some way, shape, or form, making me the person I am today.

I am grateful for the jobs I have held. The workload and responsibilities have helped me to grow stronger and wiser.

Today, and everyday. I am grateful for everything.
