Giving thanks
Thanksgiving isn’t for another month, but today I started to feel these random pangs of emotional gratitude for all the positive things I have in my life. The past few days have been weird and stressful given that Smith-sickness has hit and classes are becoming overwhelming, but the more I think about it, the more incredibly lucky I feel to have so many wonderful people and opportunities in my life.
This all sounds really cheesy, but I don’t spend nearly enough time pondering over my blessings. I’m generally a happy and content person, but my mind is always racing with things I need or want to do. Because my upbringing has made me so goal-oriented, I can’t be satisfied unless I’m working towards something.
Anyway, I’m going to try harder to count my blessings without losing my goal-oriented attitude. I just thought I’d share this gratitude with anyone that reads this blog :)
