What Are You Thankful For?

*Anya* · 07-28-2011, 08:57 AM

...that I have 2 legs and 2 arms. They may not function as well as they used to but I do have them.

I will be late for work but had to post this. I just saw on the news they are closing Walter Reed In DC.

It was full of young military with severe injuries from Iraq & Afganistan. One young guy looked about 24 and had both arms blow off from an IED and bilateral BKA (below knee amputations).

What did he regret the most? That he had to leave the rest of his unit in Afganistan without him.

I am going to try harder to be greatful for what I have and less concerned with petty bullshit.

I am grateful that each day that passes takes me further from what I am leaving behind.

I am grateful that each day that passes takes me closer to where I am going.

I am grateful that I get lost. I have learnt that every path takes me exactly where I need to go, even when I do not know where I am going.

I live today in peace.

I live today in love.

I live today embracing hope.

My wonderful friends that strengthen me daily and show me a big, wide world that exists beyond my small imagination.

I could live with very few material things in this world but one thing i will never take for granted and i will forever keep high on my priorities is friendship.

It IS the cement block that holds my heart and soul together.

I'm thankful for my children, for the determination they give me to make their lives as sweet and successful as is within my abilities.

I'm thankful for my life, for the experiences I have had that have brought me to who and where I am.

I'm thankful for the knowledge that I can make it better. I don't have to stay where I am, I can move forward.

I'm thankful for the people in my life. I am equally thankful to the ones who show me what I DONT need in my life as I am to those who make my life more then it was without them.

I'm thankful to be where I am, and to everyone who has helped along the way, even if I couldn't see it, or if they are no longer a part of it. I believe the saying is true, what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger.
I'm thankful for my family, my roomates, the best friend I never thought I would find, and the love I have.
I'm thankful to have the ability to share my creativity: through music, writting, art.
I'm thankful to be able to help others in time of need.
I'm thankful for having the opportunities and experiences I've pulled through, and worked so damn hard for.
I'm thankful for the beauty of nature.
I'm thankful for LIFE.
