I admit it, I use my blog as a brain dump for all the negativity I feel some days. It's not always the optimistic place I want it to be. I'm sure any person with internet access knows the concept of a Gratitude Blog. So here we are.
I spend a lot of time looking at other people's lives with a bad taste in my mouth. I feel envious. I feel inferior. But most significantly, I forget to look at the beauty in my own life. I forget to be thankful for what I have. Because when it comes right down to it I am pretty blessed. There are so many days when I know my life is passing me by, but fail to do anything about it. I don't even know what to do about it. I just know I don't want to look back in ten or twenty or forty years and feel like it was all a blur and that I wasted all of it. I'm in my (very) late twenties and this decade went way too quickly. I didn't stop often enough and mark a spot in my memory. My daughter was born just yesterday and in three months she'll be five. Five! I feel like I am missing the whole show.
This blog is a spot for me to leave my negativity behind and just feel positive things. Optimistic things. Here, I want to mark moments in my life that I want to remember forever. I want to remember to be GRATEFUL.
