Requirement of Life: 3

In this crazy life, we often forget to be grateful. It's so easy to sit down and complain.  And when I wasn't looking, this blog transformed into the place that I come to throw a bitch-fit. If I have a bad day, or I start to feel lonely, I run to my computer and let the words pour from me. Looking back over the past months, I bet only 5% of my posts are happy.. if you can even call them that. Instead of finding myself through writing about my adventures, I wrote about the sad things and lived out the happy.  In a sense, my blog and my life became two separate worlds. Which brings me to my 3rd requirement of life: Celebrate the good (no matter how small).

• I am thankful for my family. It is impossible not to smile when they are around. There is just something about the jokes, conversations, and endless hugs that makes me better than ever.
• Today, my boyfriend stopped over. I haven't seen him in a week and opening my door to his smiling face made my heart melt. I've really missed the butterflies in the time we've been apart (even if a week is a short amount of time).
• My best friend is my hero. She literally comes to my rescue every single time something is wrong. She always knows just what to do to fix my bad days. I'll never be able to repay her, and still, I'll never stop trying.
• There is nothing better than a afternoon nap. For the first time in a while, I took a nap. I love that feeling of just waking up and realizing that you can lay in bed a little longer.
