2012. Day 2.

I have so much to be thankful for. Yesterday, I was thankful for a much needed day off. I spent my day exactly how I wanted to. I brought in the new year with the people who I love the most, my parents, siblings and my love.

I find that the older I get, the better life is becoming. I feel like the busier I get, the more I savor the moments of rest. I'm trying to make this year different. Not for new years sake, but for my own sake, for the sake of those around me, the relationships I am desperately trying to nurture and not destroy.

If anything, this year I want to savor the moments I am blessed with by God. I want to remember the struggles and be thankful for the times of abundance. I want to learn to live and spend frugally and be financially stable no matter what my personal circumstances are. Mostly, I want to learn to not only be content with what I have, but to be incredibly happy and overjoyed by these things I have not achieved, but rather I have been blessed with.

I pray that I remember that it was God alone who has given me all I have and in the end, how can I not be thankful for that. Especially with all these amazing people in it....
