Reflection: Things I Am Thankful For


Lately I've been spending a lot of my time thinking about being thankful. It seems odd that we have one day a year that we focus on being thankful but then take everything we have for granted the other three hundred and sixty four days, especially the night of Thanksgiving, where we in America spend our time fighting one another for the best deals (also known as Black Friday). I'd like to try to change my mindset to where I see the good in the bad and am able to find something to be thankful for even when I am taking everything I do have for granted by focusing on what I don't have. To start this change, I'm going to list things I am thankful for.

Quote of the Week: It's Time to Start Living


This week's quote is a special one. I love the background behind the quote (and the quote itself, of course). To me, this quote means to live a life of purpose. It does not mean to go through the actions of life: birth, school, college, work, marriage, kids, retire, die (although this life may work for some people). It means to make something of my life. Go somewhere new every week, try something different on the menu at a restaurant, switch up my employment if I want, travel the world, go to school for another degree just for fun, or learn to play an instrument. It does not mean to do the same routine day in and day out until I am old and finally wonder where my life has gone. It means to experience the world and to take things one day at a time. To live in the moment.
