Thanksgiving

Next Thursday is Thanksgiving.  A time to spend with your love ones, eating turkey, and being grateful for what you have.  I'm going to list the things I'm grateful for and why.

I'm grateful for my family.  My family has always been their for me and they always will be there.  They've helped me get through school and supported everything I did.  They helped me when I need them the most.  They also raised me to be a good person and showed me the right ways.  I love them very much.

I'm grateful for my friends.  They really helped me through my rough patches when I could not go to my family for things.  They make me laugh and my life that much brighter.

I'm grateful for my job and the people I work with.  I love my job at the center.  I love working with the kids, although they can be a little crazy at times lol   I love the fact that I'm making a difference in their lives.  I feel like I'm making a difference.  I can look back at the end of the day, and feel that I have accomplished something.  I love the staff (well most of them lol)  I work with wonderful people who are helpful and supporting.

I'm grateful for my boyfriend.  I love him so much; though sometimes we do drive each other up a wall lol.  He has always been there even before we started dating.  He has been a good friend of mine, and now a wonderful boyfriend.  He is the shoulder I cry on when I'm feeling down.  He makes me laugh and supported everything I do!  He makes me so happy and I'm very grateful for him!

I'm grateful for laughter.  I love to laugh and I'm grateful for the things that make me laugh and smile! It would be horrible if I couldn't smile and laugh.  So I'm going to smile and laugh as much as I can!

I'm grateful for music.  I love music!  It brings me so much joy.  It relaxes me, or makes me want to dance and sing!  It makes my life so much fun to have it!  It colors the world!

I'm grateful for skype, phones, and computers.  I'm grateful that we live in a time that we can call, send emails, and video chat.  It makes going through a long distance relationship a little bit easier!  I'm glad that we have more than one way to keep in touch.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  Remember for the things and people in your life and remember not everyone is lucky to have what you have!

Patriotic

America!  Land of the free, home of the brave!  We have more freedom than most countries. I love my country!  I'm patriotic, I support my troops who fight for everything we believe in.  I'm sure many of you feel the same way, but won't say say a word because of some people's harsh words.  The whole being patriotic because of the whole 9/11.  It might be true for some, but not everyone.  I love my country very much, but I do not like my government.  Though they are suppose to be the symbol of our beautiful country, yet they are becoming more of their party symbol.

Being patriotic and supporting our government I believe is two different things now.  In the past, our government were able to put aside the party difference and got the job done.  Now its becoming Democrats vs Republicans.  Mainly between congress and the house.  Nothing gets done because one party will come up with a solution and the other party will reject it because its not there idea.  And then the other party will use the same idea and it will get rejected by that one party that came up with it.  Plus they are too busy arguing and blaming each other to get the job done.  It is becoming more of a race to get they party as President than fixing our country.

How can anyone respect our government if they are acting like two year olds?  


I'm proud to say I'm an American, but I'm also not afraid to say that I think our government is being a bunch of jack asses and they need to start working together and getting the job done than focusing on their political party.

Better mood!

I've been in a really good mood today.  Maybe because I've been bouncing off the walls (yay sugar).  But I've got off skype with my boyfriend.  And I realize how lucky I really am to have someone that loves me and puts up with my moodiness.  I know a few times that I got mad of him and no matter what reasons they were; either a good one, or not...He still sticks by me. 

He is a good guy and wants to take care of me.  And yeah he may make me angry a few times, or drives me crazy, but I love him.  What relationship that doesn't have a disagreement...and we disagree all the time.  We also aren't afraid to stand up to each other and letting the other party know that they have went a little too far.

The long distance isn't easy either.  And yeah we have to work on making it work, but so far it is working for us.  There is a few days were we question why are we doing this, but we know that we love each other and we want to be together.

We aren't perfect couple, I'm not perfect, and neither is he, but we know that we are perfect for each other and that we do balance each other out.  I know that he loves me, and that I love him very much!
