I'm grateful for good music that puts me in a good mood ~ For a sister who is always concerned and looking out for me ~ For teachers who warn us when they're giving quizzes, and for late church.

Even on days like today, when it seems like there's nothing in the world to be grateful for, I'm grateful for my precious sister who constantly assures me that I am loved. Sometimes she is the only reason I hang on.

I'm grateful for birthdays! For fun roommates who love me even without even knowing me. For old friends who have great memories. For 24 hours to change my attitude and make me realize how wonderful life can be with good friends.

I'm grateful for letters from Will, and letters to Will, and for Will! I'm grateful for classes I like, and for acceptance of the fact that I am not wonder woman, and can't do it all at once. I'm grateful for a patient and forgiving Father in heaven.

I'm grateful that I only have 2 more midterms to take. I'm grateful for the weekend, and especially for conference weekend. I'm grateful for my sweet mom and the good advice she always has.
Corby's post today reminded me about my gratitude journal from college. I dug it out. I read it, and remembered. It's only about a 10th full. Maybe it's time to start writing in it again. It really, really helped me through what was probably the most stressful year of college, academically speaking. Funny how when I read through it, I remember that semester as challenging but fun. And I survivied it. And I'm a better person because of it. It was a time in my life that was so crucial for me to "grow-up." I'd do it over again in a heartbeat.
And I think I will start it up again. Hopefully someday I'll look back at this stage of my life and feel the same way - that it was challenging but fun.

That's awesome Cynthia! Those were fun to read. I love how close you are to your sister and that you are even phsyically close to her now. I really should start a gratitude journal. Maybe I would gripe less and become a nicer person. :)
You made me cry. If I had a gratitude journal, you'd be all over mine. But you're engraved in the one inside my heart! I love you.
Oh my! This post took me back to college. It reminded me how hard but fun but scarey but irresponsible but responsible and rewarding the whole experience was.
I went back to my college journal and opened right up to a page that says:

Richard is a flake.
hahahaahah!
I AM an old friend who has a lot of great memories... of you and the friendship you showed me. I remember a note you gave me when I was going through a really tough time at home. You told me I was strong, which I never felt about myself, and I will never forget that small act of kindness. I am GRATEFUL for you in my life ,especially during that time! I'm Grateful now that I found your blog and I can peek in at your adorable little family.(hope you don't mind) You are such a special person!
