Being Grateful

After reading and doing all this research about issues that affect women on a global scale as well as in the United States I feel like I have a lot to be thankful for, so I made a list of all the things that I am grateful for and it really put things into perspective for me...each day we wake up as if we are entitled to wake up but there is so many people who didn't have the opportunity to...or if they did they are sick with cancer or some other ailing disease. My mom instilled in me from a very young age to be appreciative and avoid being a spoiled and ungrateful brat and as I get older I am so thankful for these lessons because they make me the humble person that I am today...Some of the things I am grateful for are:
-My Faith in God
-Life
-My Family
-My Mom and her many sacrifices
-My Friends
-My Openminded-ness
-My apartment at school
-My compassion for others
-My optimism
-My ability to look through the surface and over analyze things
and so much more...my list is long and I love that I took this time to make such a list because there's so many people out there suffering and we really have nothing to complain about.
