Gifts.

Hello again friends! This post won't be a long one (I'm finding out that I'm not so good at this writing relevant things thing) but I do have some things on my mind. Not that most things on my mind are worth noting. And many things I say tend to be trite and overused. But here it goes, and I promise there is some sort of point to all of this.

Giving thanks. Being thankful. This is just such a hard thing for me to remember to be on a daily basis. I do believe I have been blessed beyond anything I deserve, and I remember to give thanks for that. But I get lost in the commotion of the days, and I forget to constantly give thanks. For every encounter with a person that I have. I generally under value small interactions, when every time someone reaches out should be a great thing. Because human connection is such a beautiful thing. I often forget to thank my friends and show them that I love all of them. I forget that during the day I learn so many new things. I should be thankful for that, and for the ability to learn at all, but instead I get bored and phase out of my lessons. I am not yet intelligent enough to afford not listening.

I forget that every breath I take is a new chance for life. Because what if air stopped being air, and I couldn't use it anymore? I would die, that's what. But that is not happening, and each breath is a gift. Every sunrise and sunset is beautiful and is certainly a gift. I should really at least give thanks for these things.

Basically, just be more thankful. Of all the things we as people can take for granted. Hopefully there is something that you know of that you could be more thankful for, and you give thanks for it. And I will now thank you for reading this, you are a blessing.
