I didn't want to write a post for today because I wasn't feeling too thankful today. I literally sat here and tried to think of something I could write about and all I could think about were things I wasn't thankful for.... like I don't feel good at all today, my stomach hurts, my head hurts, my throat hurts, my body hurts and I don't know why. My allergies started killing me the second I got back to Randolph from visiting in Rexburg yesterday. It's yucky outside. I want to ride my bike but can't seem to get any energy to do so. I miss my family so much. And worst of all I have to put Hagen down on Monday and I don't want to cry about it, she's such a happy dog and she makes me smile every time I see her, I don't want to loose that. Just little things that felt like they kept adding up.
So, instead of writing a post for today I just looked through other people's blogs and cruised around online feeling sorry for myself. That's when I realized that there are SO many people out there that have it unbelievably harder then I could even THINK of being. And you know what, they are still happy, and selfless, and upbeat, and living their lives to the fullest. I was so very disgusted with myself that I didn't want to think of something I was thankful for today. I feel so selfish right now. Sure these things happening to me aren't fun but they aren't that bad... and I'm thankful for THAT. I'm thankful I have such a wonderful husband, my parents, family & friends that still give me so much sympathy and support for such petty little issues like I am having today. I'm so thankful for the strong people out there who are dealing with their heartaches and trials with such decorum, strength and faith. You are such good examples for me. I'm thankful for a Father in heaven who is watching over me and knows my "trails" and is always there for me no matter what. I'm thankful for this blog for snapping me out of my self-pity moment and making me realize once again HOW MUCH I have to be so thankful for... that's why I started this kind of post in the 1st place.
