I decided to start a new thead dedicated to being thankful. I think that that is what my higher power wanted me to learn. When I look back at my life I wish things were better different. I complained too much about what I deserved. What and how my life should look like. I hated when my plans didnt go as planned. Dont get me wrong I had a very hard upbringing. Full of moves from one country to another, domestic violence, suicides and mental illness, cheating father who is still idiolized by my younger brother. I wasn't an angel either.

I forget how much God has given me and continues to give me. So today while sitting on my pitty potty I realized how good I have it even after the break up of my family.

It is about perceptions and how you see and think about things.

What are you thankful about?
