life gives you lemons. just take em.

Hello there blog world. It has yet again been a decade since i've posted anything. So i'm taking the time now to tell the world that i've been a little to concerned about myself. me. me. me. me. me. It is not good. I decided that i need to step outside of my bubble and look at everything in this life that i should be grateful for. Here's a list of a few things:

• I am grateful for.... My parents who surprised me this week and showed up here.
• I am grateful for.... My sisters who give me a good laugh and keep me in line.
• I am grateful for.... My favorite little niece and nephew. 
• I am grateful for.... My grandparents on both sides.
• I am grateful for.... The cousins who I never see.
• I am grateful for.... Opportunities.
• I am grateful for.... A place to live even if it's ghetto.
• I am grateful for.... FOOD! (especially costco muffins and alo drinks)
• I am grateful for....  Kahuku grill
• I am grateful for.... My bike.
• I am grateful for....  A shower.
• I am grateful for.... My mom's DoTerra oils.
• I am grateful for.... friends who stay up with me all night so that we can "study".
• I am grateful for.... Friends who come all the way from Utah to visit.
• I am grateful for....An education at an awesome school.
• I am grateful for.... an amazing roomie who happens to like everything i like.
• I am grateful for....  examples of others. 
• I am grateful for....a bed to sleep on.
• I am grateful for....a cool water bottle that keeps me hydrated.
• I am grateful for.... a paycheck every two weeks (even though i tend to purchase unnecessary things with it.)
• I am grateful for....Technology. 
• I am grateful for....email to inform me that class has been cancelled.
• I am grateful for.... the sun! 
• I am grateful for....The La'ie Temple that is around the corner. 
• I am grateful for....the ocean.
• I am grateful for....books.
• I am grateful for....  this computer.
• I am grateful for.... airplanes.
• I am grateful for....forks.
• I am grateful for.... Everything that I have been blessed with. 

I owe everything to the big man above. I have been taking way too many things for granted lately and  this business needs to stop. At the beginning of the year i started a journal and the goal was to write what i am thankful for that day. As many things as i could possibly think of. I should probably start remembering to do that. random. Anyways, I hope everyone is doing great!
