Here we go :]

Alright so why waste anymore time, lets get this started!

Now I actually made my first "Thankful Post" yesterday on facebook and then a friend suggested I start a blog for it so here we are haha. The one yesterday was..

     "Alright so today I wanna say Im Thankful for my mom's way of loving me. Cuz I may see it as "none of her business" or "her just nagging" but i know that even if through my eyes something she does or says to me is wrong, crossing a line, or pointless...In her eyes (somehow lol) it's how she loves me, and protects me. :] "

Now I knew this challenge was eventually going to get a little difficult but I didnt know it was going to be so soon!! So I post this thankful post and sure enough a few hours later when I got home form work I'll give you 2 guesses as to what happened.....YUP! Me and my mom got into an argument. We disagreed on some stuff and well my impulsive angry reaction was to go delete my "thankful post" because it wasn't true anymore lol. But then I thought about it, and it made sense that the ONE DAY I say how thankful I am for my moms nagging because even if it bugs me I know it's only cause she loves me, that was the day we have a fight. I left up my post becasue it was hard but when I took my own advice and re-read my post I realized my mom got mad because she was worried and because she loves me and my sisters. So fair warning this isn't always going to be easy peezy lemon squeezy and things you are thankful for are not always going to make you the happiest person but that doesn't mean you are not thankful for them.

So I still have to post something I'm thankful for today....

I'm thankful for my hour commute to school. I don't live on campus and so I have to drive an hour to get to school as well as an hour to get back home(that's with little to no traffic). Now through these posts you're going to learn some things about me and todays Lesson on DG's life is that I LOVE ROAD TRIPS! and even though driving to school does not qualify as a "Road Trip" hahah just in general I love being in the car driving around, even if it's only for 5 minutes to go get my mom some milk from the store. Traveling in a car with the radio on and singing along like no one can see you (even though everyone can lol). I love that. Plus, I drive to school and back alone so not only is it a great time singing in the car but it also doubles as my me time :] So now that I've started school again monday was my first day back and on the way home I realized..I really missed the 91 Freeway! hahaha. So that's what I'm thankful for today, the 2 hours twice a week I get to drive in my car and blast my radio and just have me time on the freeway.

Challenge: As I said in the first post my hope is that people read this and realize their own blessings in their lives. So I figured I'd help you out if you want haha. We'll start off easy no BIG LIFE QUESTION...just simply think about one thing you are thankful for rigth now. Not a list, just one thing it can be ANYTHING and no excuses "today was a bad day"  "I dont feel like thinking about things im thankful for right now"...no! Just think of one thing, your pen, your shoe, your......teeth? hahah anything just think of one......
