I'm laying on my bed after cleaning up my room, catching up with an old friend that I haven't talked to or seen in FOREVER, now blasting my music... I finally sit and chill for the first time today...and am thankful to sit and breathe. Then I start considering my topic for today's blog. What am I thankful for.. what should I write about? I can be superficial and be thankful my nail lady was able to squeeze me in and fix a broken nail, I can be materialistic and be thankful for my phone or my car. But in reality, none of this stuff matters. My phone, my car, my computer, my shoes, my clothes, my handbags, all the money in the world... could be gone, taken away - and I'd still be thankful. I think I've wrote about this before, but I can't stress it enough.
There are no amount of words to express how thankful I am for LIFE!!
(Quick thought: a quote from my favorite movie came in mind right now - "You have more than enough personalities to keep me completely occupied!" - How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days
I know I've been on an emotional rollercoaster. But I didn't want to give any of you the impression that I'm depressed and hating life. Though I'm lost and confused most of the time, I'm still me. I know this is my life, and God has already planned it out. I'm just along for the ride. But you will notice my good and bad days through my writing - I think. I know I can tell. That quote just stuck out cause I can imagine you (my readers) thinking, "oh my, she's gone of the loony bin.. first shes complaining about her life, and now she's thankful for it" LOL)
Life. Be thankful for it. It can be taken away from you in minutes, months, years...whatever your destiny may be. Live your life to the fullest. Be thankful your alive to see your parents grow old together, or your children grow up. Be thankful you can hug the people who you love. Be thankful your alive to experience love, laughter, sadness, etc. Be thankful your alive to see the sun, the rain. Be thankful that you can see, taste, hear, smell... be thankful for every single breath you take. NEVER take it for granted. Don't ever forget to say those three simple words to the people who you love the most.
My mother was always my inspiration (and still is), but she was my inspiration for tonights post. I don't think people realize what can be taken away from them. Part of me thinks that the last few years of my life would have been different if I would have known that my mom was going to pass away this year. I would have told her I loved her more, I would have fought with her less, I would have listened to her more. I'm guilty of all of these, and fortunately I'm smart enough to not let the past hurt me, or make me have any regrets. My mother and I had an amazing relationship/friendship. I know she knew that I loved her and that she was my best friend. She told me she knew in one of the last conversations I had with her.
So, what it this all comes down to... point blank, love the people in your life and don't take them for granted... and while doing so.. live your life to the fullest. Live without regrets. The way I'm living my life to the fullest right now.. I'm getting to know God, spending more time with Him, listening to Him and trying to figure out His next move for my life. I've surrounded myself with positive, happy, non-judgemental people; people who I know I can count on 100%, people who make me smile and laugh. No regrets. I'm just living the life. Taking one day at a time, living it like it's my last. I wish you will all do the same.
