I'm Lucky

I'm going to admit that I've always had a very blessed life. But just like everyone else, I hit rough patches. I'm really trying to live my life in a positive way, so I try not to dwell on the inevitable negativity that is found in day-to-day life. So in order to remind myself just how lucky I am, I thought I'd share it on my blog, so that I'll never forget it!

Happy Monday!

Reasons That I'm Lucky:

1. I have my health. I have had to come a long way in my journey to health and every day that I wake up healthy again, is a good day. I never take my health for granted anymore.


2. I have an extremely loving and supporting family. They've been there with me through the good and the bad times in my life and they have always supported my hopes and dreams. I don't know where I'd be without them.

3. I have an amazing husband! Even though military life is hard and I haven't seen him for weeks, he still manages to make me feel like the prettiest and luckiest girl in the world. Every phone call, text message and letter from him means the world to me and when we're finally together again, it will definitely all be worth it!

4. I am able fulfill my writing passion through blogging and writing my own novels. Using the internet and websites such as Blogger.com, has enabled me to open new doors that provide new and wonderful opportunities for my future. I am so excited to find out where this writing journey takes me and I'm also excited to find out who I'll become in the process.



5. I have had wonderful educational opportunities. I went to one of the top high schools in the nation and I am now pursuing a Multimedia Arts Degree. I know that so many people don't have this same opportunity, so I never take it for granted either. Education has done wonderful things for me and I love to spread that message around. Hopefully it will inspire others to achieve their dreams as well.



I don't want this post to get too long, but you get the gist. Basically, when times are tough for me, I just simply remember how lucky I truly am. It really helps put things into perspective because no matter how bad things are, they could always get worse. Just remember that the sun will come up tomorrow and as Dolly Parton once said, "If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."

Have a great week everyone! Thanks for reading!
