Usually around this time of year, I am completely depressed. Yet this year, there is cause for positive change. Right now, I love the skin that I am in. I am aware of my gifts and talents and nurture them on a regular basis. I am in a great, loving relationship with the woman that I am today.
I am grateful to be alive in 2012 and knowing that I am closer to achieving all of the dreams placed in my heart from childhood.
For once, I wanted to share the many things that I am thankful for this year. My journey towards self acceptance and peace began in early 2012.
What I am thankful for: 2012 Edition:
1. I am thankful for those that love me and continuously show me that they care. I do not have to wonder about who my friends are because as I have grown older, they have revealed themselves time and again.
2. I am thankful for Mr. Perfect, my ex-fiance and any of the past love relationships that I have been in. I have grown so much in the past year and now its clear to me that they each taught me valuable lessons on love, sacrifice and the ability to move on from a failed relationship. I am a loveable person and know that love will find me again…in its own time. No pressure and no stress.
3. I am grateful for my grandparents who believed in me and saw value in me when others did not. On a fixed income and in their golden years, my guardian angels took in a 15 year old wild child and tamed the beast within me. I am eternally grateful for the love, support, and guidance they gave me as I grew in their care. I know that they gave me a priceless gift that I pass on to others: love. I will continue to uplift and support others because of my grandparents.
4. I am thankful to live in New York City: the city of dreams. I love being a part of the fabric of this one of a kind place. I came here to make it BIG and being here, walking these streets, lets me know that I am closer everyday to my dreams coming true.
5. I am thankful for my unbreakable spirit. I have been knocked down countless times and like dust…I rise. I will not stop and I will not quit. I am going to shine until my heart stops for I know that I inspire others to keep going in the direction of their dreams.
6. I am thankful that I am a talented teacher. It gives me joy to help our youth see the greatness within themselves. I love having the freedom to touch them and deliver my words with a spirit of hope and inspiration. I do it for the love, passion and drive I have within me to be a supportive role model to those who need it most.
7. I am thankful to GOD for giving me another chance at life. Just when I thought my life was over, HE showed me that it had only just begun. HE loves me and I know this everyday…
Thank you all for allowing me to share my life with you. I enjoy all of the comments and love I receive every time I begin blogging. You have given me a new lease on life and I am eternally grateful for you!!!
Keep moving forward…ALWAYS!!!
Precious
