Today I am thankful. For my God, my
family, my friends, and my life...
2015 hasn't been the easiest year. I've
struggled. I've loved. I've lost. I've reached the highest highs and
the lowest lows. But through it all I've learned some of the most
valuable lessons in this year, and for that I'm most grateful.
So here's my little thank you note to
everyone that has been a part of my journey...
I'm thankful for all the friends who
have stood by me through my darkest days and hours. You'll have been
my strength and my solace when I most needed it. I don't know how I'd
have survived without the love, kindness and generosity you'll
showered me with. Sometimes the most precious thing you can give
someone is just a little bit of your time, and a listening ear. So
thank you for just being there!
I'm eternally grateful for my family.
Without the support system that my mama, dada and sister provide me
with every single day, I would never be the person I am, and I'd
never have been where I am today. They've been there for me when I
have had no one to turn to, and I will never be able to find the
words to express what they mean to me!
I'm thankful to the friends who've
walked out of my life and all the new one's that have walked in.
You'll have taught me that nothing is permanent in this life, and
that though change rips a hole in your soul, everything always
happens for the best! Thank you to all the amazing friends I have
made this year – you've shown me what it is to instantly make a
connection with someone, and for that to grow into friendship and
love and much more!
I'm so thankful for being able to do
the things I love. For being able to travel...I've seen some of the
most amazing places this year and done the most awesome things with
both friends and family. I'm thankful for all the memories I made
this year...they will live with me for a lifetime. I'm grateful for
an awesome job, for being able to do exactly what I love...for good
friends and awesome company at work.
Today, on my 29th birthday,
I'm thankful for all the people that took the trouble to wish me,
even though I am in a different country. A very special thank you to
the few people that called me at midnight (you'll know who you'll
are!), for really making my day and giving me the best start I could
have asked for to this year! I love you guys! Thank you for all the
messages, the posts and all the love that was sent my way today. I
could not have asked for anything more today!
Last, but most importantly, I'm
thankful to God for giving me another year of life, another shot at
taking that proverbial trip around the sun, and just smashing it on
this wild, wild ride of life. I'm but a minuscule particle of
nothingness, but I know I can rest secure in His plans, for He has
wondrous, marvelous things planned for me! And my journey is only
just beginning!
2015 has not been the best year in so
many ways, yet in so many others, it has been the year I needed. I've
grown, but more importantly, I've matured into the person I am finally
proud of!
Here's to another awesome year...to
traveling and seeing more of this beautiful world, to meeting the
most awesome people and making the best of friends, to living and
learning and loving.
To Growing Up, but never Growing Old!
