Everytime I open up my facebook page I go directly to news feed. Everyone, and I do mean Everyone, is posting things this month that they are thankful for in their life.
I on the other hand shall write a blog, teehee*. My husband doesnt even need to read this because he hears it everyday. I make a point to show my appreciation of things that I am thankful for on a daily basis. As Aaron fully knows first hand, I thank him every night for everything he does for me, and for all the love he shows me. I faithfully believe to always show thanks and praise and love for what I have, because you never know if you will ever have another opportunity to do just that. For example, my grandparents (my moms parents) were in a plane crash when I was 3 years old. My mom was just 22. Her brother just a couple of years older. They died together, knowing full well how much they loved each other. My uncle had just gotten into a fight with them before the accident. He hated himself for years for not apologizing let alone telling them how much he loved them before they parted from this earth. I still to this day believe he still holds that regret in his heart.
How sad would that be? To not have that one last chance to make sure that the ones you love, hear that you in fact do love them. I have a crazy family (I love you but you know exactly what Im talking about). I wouldnt trade them for anything! There have been plenty of fights in our lives and yet we all still say that we love them. Any fight I get into with Aaron, before he leaves my sight I tell him I love him. We might go to bed angry with each other but we still tell each other I LOVE YOU, granted it might not be said in the friendliest tone, but like the good song says "if tomorrow never comes" will they know how much i love them? Well I sure in the hell am not going to chance it.
It makes me sad to see anyone fighting, even people who have been fighting for the most idiotic reasons, so what if she didn't load the dishwasher the right way. Who the hell cares if he didn't roll the windows up in the car when it rained. So what if they upset you in someway. Do you still love them? Then just tell them and continue your fight. If you cant say what is bothering you and saying I love you in the same argument, then why even have that argument? Just bid your goodbyes now and move on with your life.
Life is honestly to precious and to short to seriously hold grudges, be angry, fight, or feel ill about someone. You chose to have this person is in your life for a reason right? Ask yourself why. Look at them. Tell them why you want them in your life and then move on with it. Your choices are what make your life. Don't you want to make good ones?
BE GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE, CHERISH IT. Because you never know if you could one day just loose everything.
The following is a SHORT list, in no particular order, of things in my life that I myself am thankful for. This is not a complete list because I do not have enough room on my blog and you would get bored.
*waking up every morning to a new day
*the simple kisses from my husband when he wakes me up and comes home from work and before bed
*two wonderful girls who have allowed me to be a mom
*my husband, my husband, MY HUSBAND!
*ALLLLLL of my parents!
*my sister mallory for who litterally saved my life
*THERAPY and therapy from a great friend
*smiles
*movies, because without them, I would never be able to experience an alternate world in which i would never live in.
*for surviving every day
*photos
*the smiles on peoples faces
*the sound of percolating coffee
*hugs
*the ability to feel the wind on my face
*music
*my husbands family who have, without a second thought, graciously accepted me into their family.
*my sister Elisha, for whom keeps me sane just by looking at her
*my vision, because even tho it is bad, I am still able to enjoy the sight of life in general
*when people who pass you by, actually waive and smile, even if they dont know who you even are
*dogs in the cab of trucks, it always makes me smile
*the buzzer on the dryer, because i know that when it goes off that i have warm fresh smelling fabric even tho i dread the fact that i have to put it all away
*candy, because without it, i would never be able to bribe my daughters to do said laundry
*my sister michelle, who has taught me that even in the "craziest" times, I will be ok.
*the sound of a early spring morning bird
*my close friends
*STING
*laughter
*MY LIFE!
Like I said this was just a short list, if you know me, then you already know that I am thankful and I verbally give thanks for everything that I have in my life.
