blessings.

Despite feeling gloomy yesterday, I still found ways to be grateful in my life. I learned that I shouldn't occupy myself with negative thoughts every day as it's draining and doesn't benefit me. I realized that appreciating blessings such as simply waking up in the morning, being with my family, having good health, talking with my boyfriend, and feeling secure and safe is what truly matters each day.

It's a great blessing that I've taken for granted lately, and it's definitely a lesson for me. I'm very thankful to the Lord that my family and I are alive and healthy, living under a roof, and have the opportunity to study. I shouldn't take those little things for granted; they are indeed blessings.
