Life in the fast lane. That's how many of us live. We are so busy that we don't take the time to reflect on the good things we have. Sure life is tough but there is a lot to be thankful for. Today, I shall name five.
I owe thanks to my family who encouraged me so much in life and helped me become the person I am today. They taught me values of self-responsibility and hard work, and were always supportive of me in pursuing my dreams. They showered me with love, kindness and care, and I am lucky to have been blessed with the family I have.
.. and for tonight, thanks for the movie. I enjoyed watching Avatar at home. lol
I owe thanks to my friends – the informal family of people I wasn’t born with, but who nevertheless have shown me so much love and caring. I am quite fortunate to have a bestfriend, who has always been sweet and wonderful. All the pals I have learned from and gotten so much help from, in good times and bad, deserve my gratitude and thanks. The friends I simply hang out with, the ones I know intimately and the ones I know more casually – I love them all. Even if they can be weird sometimes.
Being able to laugh when the going gets tough: One thing I found out about me as my close friends would most often say, I can find the funnies even when I feel like I'm six feet under. I like that I can often smile my way through difficulties and find the bright side. Laughter is my best medicine, but I choose people who to laugh with. So if you spot me laughing with you like there's no tomorrow, then in my heart you are special.
Accomplishing goals: To one degree or another, I tend to follow through on things. I thrive on having goals to strive for and am happy about the fact I've been able to achieve some of them. I like that I have "stick-to-itiveness." Truth be told I still feel that I haven't reached my goal yet, but I'm working on that. I set high, almost unobtainable standards for myself. Sometimes I disappoint myself in how much I let opportunities to learn and grow pass me by. I know I could have done better and that's what kills me the most. The constant thoughts of "I can do better, I have it in me to do better..." continue to haunt me. But there's no use crying over spilt milk right? I'll get em next time.
The hard times: Because they've made me stronger and wiser, and the good times even better.
Well there you have it folks, the bittersweet things in life. The list goes on but my mind can only think of these at the moment. And I'm supposed to be going to Radisson LAX tomorrow at 10am. Really, Los Angeles Airport? Good luck in getting there. Well time to call it a night. Good night my lovelies.
