#sograteful

I am so grateful for everything that I have.

My son decided he wanted to be a knucklehead this year and get so far behind in math that he had to just about perform a miracle in order to graduate. I sit here today grateful that I raised a son capable of doing just that......My daughter drives me nuts with her "riddle of the day" and her "Mommy, can we play 'hands up to 85?'" but I am grateful our relationship is one where she wants nothing more than to be up under me all the time..... and play her guitar, of course LOL. #supportyourkids

I am grateful to have this beautiful roof over my head and the ability to sustain it, even if only barely. The peace of living WHERE I want to live has only fueled the drive to live HOW I want to live. #presson

I am fairly certain my relationship wont last the summer, but I am completely grateful to have experienced it and to know that if and when it does end, it will be amicable and in good conscience. #loveyoufirst

I am grateful to have learned to leave the past where it is and not toil over the happenings in the lives of others. I dont care when someone else is wearing my old digs. I've outgrown them. They no longer fit. #letgo

I am grateful to have learned not to measure the quality of my life by comparing it to that of others. Even if we seem to be in the same place, we may not have traveled the same distance to get there or brought along the same amount of baggage. #packlight

I am grateful that my painful experiences have composed me, not defined me, and I am grateful that I choose to reflect upon the lessons I learned in those times, rather than the times themselves, accepting that things are exactly as they were meant to be. #moveon

There is so much in my life I COULD complain about, but I am so blessed its not even funny. As little as I'd say I have, there are people who would kill for it - HAVE killed for it.... DIED for it..... Peace. There are few things in our universe more valuable because nobody can give it to you and nobody can take it away - it comes from within. Its the beauty and grace of God in you - at least, that's how it feels to me. The appreciation of just being here on this earth to witness the sun and the rain and the flowers and even those annoying fucking ants that seem to want to terrorize me wherever I go LOL.... acknowledging the growth you've experience in your journey and knowing no matter what point you're at, it could have always been worse.

You could still be the "you" you were THEN....

Think about it.
