Still On Planet Earth

No readers, I haven't fallen off of planet earth. I have been busy though. I've been writing papers for my English 1010 class that I just finished (yay!), and keeping up with the rest of my schoolwork. Also, I discovered a couple of new things like Angry Birds (so dang addicting!), Pinterest and Spotify... Oh my they're fun! Check them out.

Anyways, I've been doing the 30 days of gratitude, and I can share those with you here.

1. Grateful for the love of a family.
2. Grateful for my three best friends. :) My sister Ashley, and my two best gal pals Paula and Violet.
3. Grateful for my education. I'm grateful for the teachers who educated me, the opportunities I have been given, and the future that lies ahead of me. It's a long road that streches before me, but the journey behind me is what has made me who I am today.
4.  Grateful for the food in my belly, and the shelter from the storm. I'm grateful for the snow on the ground, and the beauty of this season.
5. Grateful for the opportunity to help and serve others less fortunate than myself. I'm grateful for all that I have been given and how fortunate I am.
6. Grateful for the example of my parents, and their support of me and my goals. I love you mama and daddy!
7. Grateful for my mama's courage and strength as she valiantly fights the battle against MS. She is selfless and caring in so many ways. Grateful I was blessed to have the mother I do, and I'm grateful for all that she and this disease have taught me. Just keep moving forward! #curems
8. Grateful for naps! I should really take them more often! #sleep
9. Grateful this monster headache finally went away. Thank you #tylenol !
10. Grateful for the little things in life, like pumpkin pie and beautiful autumn sunsets. :) #grateful
11. Grateful for my country, and all of those who have died to protect it. I'm grateful for all veterans of the military, but particularly my grandpas, who both served in the army. I love you Grandpas!
12. Grateful for pretty snow. :)
13. Grateful for my daddy. Happy Birthday Daddy!
14. Grateful for my kitties. My life wouldn't be the same without them!
15. Grateful for this. <3
16. Grateful for the opportunity to help and serve others.
17. Grateful for life lessons. Even though sometimes things don't go the way you want them to, life goes on, and you have to keep on moving with it. Take the lesson and learn it, cause it happened for a reason.
18. Grateful for my straightener. Especially today. Curse you curly hair!

Those are the things I'm grateful for so far this month. We'll see what comes next!

Oh, and for those of you wondering, I didn't make Sterling Scholar. I found out yesterday. I'm glad I tried, even though rejection hurts. I guess if I'd never tried I'd never know. And hey, now at least I have a killer resume! :)
