Thursday 10/11
1. I am thankful for holidays that give us something to look forward to. The fact that we have events in our year that affect how we live is kind of a neat thought.

2. I am thankful for glasses of ice cold water and the way it feels to drink something so clean, free, and hydrating.
3. I am thankful for my potential. Sometimes I think I cut myself short and I don't hold myself to the standards that I should. I have a great potential for many great things and I need to always remember that.

Tuesday 10/9
1. Today I am thankful for the morning texts that sometimes wake me up. I see that someone was thinking of me and it makes me happy to know that he tried.
2. I am thankful for the phone calls with my sister that bond us together. Sometimes it seems like I vent to her all the time about little things in my life, but I don't realize that she never calls to vent to me. I called her today to ask how things were going and hear what she's dealing with and she vented for over an hour. It was clear that she needed it and I feel all the closer just because of that.
3. I am thankful for the days when I feel positive and efficient with my time. It's the worst feeling when I can't get myself in the "study" mood.

Monday 10/8
1. I am thankful that my sister is such a planner. She may get annoying from time to time with all the little things she plans out, but I'm thankful she's there to do it because if she didn't, nobody would.
2. I am thankful for MOTIVATION. One thing in my life that makes a huge difference in my happiness is the impact of my motivation. If I get a better sense of control over it there's so much potential.
3. I am so blessed to have all my fingers. I type on my computer all the time and this wouldn't be such a simple task if I didn't have my fingers. My boyfriend couldn't lace his between mine, my little sister wouldn't have anything to hold onto, and I wouldn't be able to tickle my future kids. THANK GOD FOR FINGERS!

Thursday 10/4
1. I am thankful for the fact that after classes I can go back to my quiet apartment and not have to hear the annoying, loud, traveling voices of my inconsiderate classmates that have "strong" voices because their aunts are opera singers. Thank you for sharing because I didn't ask.
2. I am thankful for hangovers and the reminder they are of the great time I had the night before.
3. I am thankful for teachers that make class a positive part of my day. The ones that make me look forward to class rather than dread it. WE ALL APPRECIATE YOU.

Saturday 9/29
1. I spent the whole day doing exactly what I wanted to do. Golf, tanning, and a visit to the mall (an expensive visit but very satisfying). I am in love with days like these.
2. I got in a fight with my boyfriend tonight over the way he makes me feel. I am thankful for the fact that I recognize these feelings and voice them when I am unhappy because ultimately, I'll either move on or he will work with me on them. I know a lot of girls that settle and are unhappy because they're afraid to move on and I am thankful that I know better than to stay with someone who doesn't make me happy. #SELFRESPECT
3. I am blessed to sit at my computer, take a deep breath, and honestly have no physical ailment to bother me. I never want to take that for granted.

2. I got home tonight and sat down and did all the things I've been putting off. This is the best feeling EVER.
3. I am so blessed to have such amazing opportunities in my life. I just realize that if I take advantage of them I am capable of SO MUCH.

Thursday 9/27
1. Probably the best thing that happened to me today was my teacher assuming that she lost my essay for my test when really I didn't complete it to begin with. She apologized and asked me to resubmit it. AMEN SISTA.
2. I gave a prose speech today and remembered why I'm going to school. I felt that same spark I had in high school for the subject and it all just felt right.
3. I am so blessed that my biggest stress of the day was putting together my 50 piece coffee table I bought from Walmart to do homework on. If that's the biggest thing I'm dealing with right now, I've got it pretty good.

Wednesday 9/26
1. Today I had my first day back at work since last week. It was a great experience because I drove past my old workplace to get there and realized how happy I am that I have a new, better job where I can make a decent wage and work on homework the majority of the time!
2. I am thankful for my feet. I complain a lot about having such flat and long feet, but I forget how lucky I am to have feet at all. At least they only hurt me once in a while.
3. I am thankful for the fact that I have clothes all over my floor. I need to remember how blessed I am to even have enough clothes to put in my closet.

Thursday 9/20
1. Today I am thankful for my boyfriend. Even though he drives me nuts at times I still get extremely excited to come and pick him up for the weekend. He is one of the few boyfriends I've had that keeps me sane and happy, at least for now.
2. I am thankful for my phone. My phone broke today and I realize how much time I really spend on it. Without my phone I can't keep in touch with my family and friends! Not to mention the gps comes in handy much more than I thought!
3. I am thankful for my sister. We may get in fights from time to time, but I don't know what I'd do without her.

Wednesday 9/19

2. I am thankful for my hair. I may not always have good hair days, but for the most part I can say I'm lucky to have the kind of hair I was born with. If nothing else, I'm just thankful to have hair, because I know I would look like a weirdo without it.
3. I am thankful for my health. I've been noticing on campus that everyone has the sniffles and I've been relatively healthy despite what's going around. Things would probably be much harder with a cold right now!
