Grateful pick me up

I've been feeling a bit anxious about things in my life lately. Today there was definitely more anxiety about not meeting goals and wondering about my future. I know that there are things in my life that can be changed by me. I know that my unhappiness is stemmed from my lack of drive to change things. I just don't know how to start. (I think that was my last post.) So, in order to not sink into that debilitating funk of uselessness I composed a list of ten reasons I'm grateful (seriously, why do we spell it like this?)


 1. Healthy Family
Despite the blow my family has taken in the last year we are currently going on a streak of no ailments. While we may not be happy all of the time, at least our health is not an issue.

2. My car

The freedom to get where I need or would like to be is a wonderful thing. It's something that has taught me responsibility and time management. The latter is a really great thing to learn.

3. That I have jobs

I love things. I need money in order to get the things. It's nice to have a way to earn money that will allow me to get the things I want.

4. Not oversleeping to a detrimental extent

I'm doing a lot right now and am not always sleeping as I should. Getting out of bed gets really hard (for the record: I don't like to get out of bed when I'm well rested and sleep deprivation does not help). I'm just happy that it hasn't been so hard that I've missed an appointment.

5. Enough to pay my bills.

Once again, I like things and I'm glad to not have incurred more bills than money to pay them.

6. PoPS

Platoon of Power Squadron! I love this show. It makes me happy. Check it out.

7. Youtubers/Youtube

This is one of the things that ties into reason 9. I love the content. Other people's ideas and lives of which they are allowing me to catch glimpses. I'm thankful that Youtube provides an outlet for individuals to share these items.

8. Friends

Having people around to do everything from laugh to cry or whisper to yell and everything in between is just something that is a wonderful thing to have. I appreciate my friends.

9. Reasons to laugh

 Laughing is my all time favorite thing to do, so having reasons to do so is a blessing and I love and appreciate all of them.

10. Music

What better way is there to express yourself, memorize things, dance, and relax than music? There isn't.
