Have you ever thought about how lucky you are? Well, I never really realized the true meaning of happiness until I looked around at everything I have to be thankful for. One, I have a mother who loves me unconditionally. She honestly could not be a better mom to me. Without her, I would be totally lost. I can only hope to be like her as I grow older. She raised me as a single parent and not only made sure I had a roof over my head, but also saw that I had everything I ever wanted.
Another thing I am thankful for is that I am in good health. I look around at all these kids in other countries going without clean water and food and it just makes me so sad that they will never experience what one would call a "normal" life yet they still manage to smile. There are also individuals in our own country who suffer every day of their life.
Additionally, I am thankful for the path I have chosen in life. By my age, pretty much anyone can determine how they want to live, whether they think so or not. I have always put my life in God's hand and had faith through everything no matter how hard it seemed. He has helped me overcome so much and I completely believe in the phrase "with God all things are possible." I am in college and moving on with my life as I should. No, getting up everyday and listening to lectures is not always that fun but in the end it will be worth it.
In closing, just look around at everything good in your life instead of the negative side and you will realize how great you really have it. Those are just a few things I have to be thankful for and they are definitely not the only ones. Looking on the positive side will really brighten your day and relieve alot of stress.
