It's a an amazing day today. After listening to a little too much Jason Mraz' song about gratitude, I realise that even though I'm down in the dumps, there is still so much to be thankful for. So here's a countdown of things I haven't thought of being grateful for for a long, long time...
1. My parents. They've made some crazy sacrifices for me to be in London, studying and pursuing my dreams. Their encouragement more than keeps me going even though I barely notice.
2. Friends. Those who keep close to me, want the best for me, and push me to greatness. Those who are there no matter what time of the night I need them.
3. A roof over my head, a warm bed, washing machine, food in the fridge and internet!
4. London. I love living in a city where so much is going on - that I am part of! It's incredibly rich in both modern and historical culture, so diverse.
5. That I can still breathe. That I am alive and well most all the time.
6. For a beautiful grey sky. It forces me to appreciate each ray of sunshine, each speck of blue, and every glimmering star so much more.
7. Experience. Life lessons that have taught me control, respect, honour, and most of all, love.
8. A God who cares for me unwaveringly, no matter how much I shun or hurt him. Who gives more than a million second chances with each waking moment.
9. A guy who won't admit his feelings, can be utterly rude, won't open up or give more than he takes. But who protects, loves, holds, caresses, and somehow keeps me coming back!
10. That slight dizzy feeling when I have an epic kiss, or when I hold my cigarette smoke in for too long & my butt starts to tingle.
