Man oh man alot can change in a short time well i guess 6 months since my last post isn't that long but i digress. So quick update for everybody not reading this. House is gone, have my own apartment now. some bad stuff is going on but everything isn't all bad which brings me to my point here. After some introspection i've realized that i focus entireley too much on the negative things in my life when in truth despite these things I have alot to be thankful for. It is my belief that if you don't show you are grateful for what you do have then it is unlikely that God will add more too you. Why should he give you more if you aren't grateful for what you have its pretty much closing the door on yourself. Thats not saying you shouldn't want more and better not at all. Just make sure you are grateful for what you have and of equal importance be a good steward or in simplified terms take good care of it. I'm not talking about just material possesions here but relationships with family, with friends, jobs (as opposed to not working at all and maybe living in the streets) . Take joy in things big and small. With that said I decided I am going to list some of the things I am thankful for in my life
1. Friendship
I am so thankful for each and every one of my friends they have shown time and time again they are here for me no matter what and i try to be the same for them. wether its just too talk, hang out or even if something bad is about too happen they are there. On a special not I am extremely thankful for the friendship I have with a special young lady. Over the time i have spent getting too know her I can honestlly say she has become one of my best friends, and I extremely grateful to have her as part of my life.
2. My Apartment
With the way things went down with the house things could've been alot worse but i have an apartment i have a comfortable place to live. Its no palace but i don't need a palace everything works right i have no issues with my neighbors its not a bad neighborhood. If you ask me its pretty darn good for a first place
3. My Job
I work for Whole Foods Market its a great company with great benefits and it treats the emplyees very well especially compared to echostar and honestlly alot of other companies out there. Sure I'm only a cashier but I have worked there less than a year and have already seen two wage increases it enables me to keep food on my table gas in my car and my rent paid admittedlly i need to do a better job managing my money but i'm working on it.
4. School
I may not have finished but I started and thats more than so many people can say alot of people get an opportunity to go to college but alot more don't, and I am going to finish its just a matter of time. At least the opportunity to start came for me and the opportunity to finish is around the corner i believe.
5. Video Games
Oh the mad man i would be without them its the perfect thing to just take me out of my head for a little while just kind of go into a fantasy and forget about all the craziness for a while. I LOVE MY GAME SYSTEMS lol
6. My Computer
It Works and I spend alot of time online what else can i really say lol
7. Chinese Food
I could eat it almost everyday
8. Mexican Food
Ditto
9. Good Music
There is alot of good music out there its just harder to find these days and that is yet another thing that kind of helps take you out of your head for a bit i mean what else do i need to say if you know me or you've read this crazy thing before you get the idea lol
10. Cologne
what i like to smell good despite what my friend vekk says lol
Well i am gonna stop there cuz i have to finish putting my laundry away and well too be perfectly honest I don't want to type anymore (^_^) so until next time wether it be a day from now or another 6 months
