Day SEVEN of my GRATEFUL PROCLAMATION. (Also apologize for posting this late as it is after midnight and should have been posted on Saturday, 23rd.) 7 days, 3 items each day, every day I invite 2 people to participate. I AM GRATEFUL~ #1) That I was able to find a reliable (I hope) vehicle to purchase at a low price today after having so many car difficulties over the past 2 years, and that it was able to be accomplished before my flight on Monday. Also that I have a father who is kind enough to always try to help me even when he is busy or has other influences in his life that make him feel pulled in all directions. He always makes time for his kids...and he helped me greatly with finding the car today. #2) That I am fortunate to have so many things in my life to make it easier. I look around and realize that I feel sorry for myself far too often. We, especially living in this country, have it far too easy. Look around...every person is staring at some electronic device when they could be having a meaningful conversation with the person next to them. We all have free education till age 18 (which most of us complained about), are able to read...have access to health care, have people who love us. Most of us at our age are sadly divorced, which means we either had the bad luck of finding a bad match or we didnt pay attention to the promises we made and in turn the examples our children have watched have probably been a bit skewed. I dont blame anyone who is divorced..dont misunderstand. I am saying we have so much that most of us dont know what to do with it and yet we still think we dont have hardly anything. I struggle with finances...like everyone, but realize that on every other level I am abundantly rich. #3) That I was invited to participate in this GRATEFUL PROCLAMATION as it has given me an opportunity to focus each and every day on what I do have to be grateful for. There is so much, I have barely scratched the surface. I hope everyone will know that I know I sound unappreciative and depressed a great deal and have a sense of sarcasm that sometimes only I myself am privy to understanding; however I have a great deal of love for my family and friends. I am loyal beyond belief to those who I care for and would sacrifice a great deal for my loved ones. Thank you to my sister for inviting me.
