don't take it for granted.

So, lately my life has been pretty great.


Yesterday, my friends and I took advantage of being homeschooled and went out to the movies..just because we could. It was really fun. There were other reasons I enjoyed yesterday, and I really wish I could write about those reasons here..but there's no telling who's gonna see this. We have a relatively small county..when someone hears something..everyone they know hears and so on and so forth. When you add all those people up, you have the whole of Rockingham County.

So, for now, we'll just keep those reasons on the "dl" ;)


Like I said, life has been pretty great. My friend and I were reflecting on how often we take our amazing, blessed lives for granted. How? How can people that have so much..take things for granted. That's the trick, isn't it? The more you have..the more likely you are to forget it's even there.


Sure, right now I'm talking about how great it is. But next month, next week, tomorrow, within the next few hours..I'm capable of completely forgetting how good it all is. How I don't deserve it. How there are people who'd be more grateful than I will ever be.


Why can being grateful be so hard? Why does it take something totally awe-inspiring for some people to come to the realization of how truly blessed they are. I can't quite explain it, and I'll probably never be able to.
