So today I wanted to talk about being thankful. Living in
the UK, I do not celebrate thanksgiving, but at Christmas time I always find
myself reflecting on what I have in life and how lucky I am to have it.
I am extremely lucky because I have my health, my family are
all well and my friends are loving and supportive. My life isn’t perfect, but I
rather it this way, and as long as everyone I love is as happy and healthy as
possible than I am thankful.
Lately I have also been feeling happier about myself and my
life. A few months ago, I realised that I was spending too much time on the
internet and didn’t do enough hobbies and clubs. For some people the amount I
do now is still little, but to others its a lot. I just felt down about the
time I felt I was wasting in my life, so I made a change. I now enough going to
an art club, orchestra, strings group, be part of two netball teams- one in
school and one outside- and volunteer weekly with my local rainbows group. If
you are feeling a little upset like I was, I would really recomedn becoming
more busy because it has really made me feel better. To find new clubs ask
friends, see what your school/ collage have to offer or just try something new!
I am so thankful for all the opportunities I have because when there are so
many doors open, there are so many places you can go.
I am also thankful for my blog and all of my readers. I blog
because it makes me happy and I enjoy it so much, but having a supportive group
of readers is amazing. I’d love to thank all of you because my readers are what
keep me going and keep my blogging to my schedule.
The last thing I wanted to say thanks for today is
Christmas. As a Christmas-a-holic, I have been loving this festive season more
than anything. Christmas is such a magical time because if you celebrate it or
not, people are happier, kinder and children are so excited- I’ve learnt from
my little Rainbows- and life is just a whole lot nicer. Music, food,
decorations, tv- everything is special at Christmas time.
So that’s all I want to say today and I’m feeling all warm
and fuzzy thinking about all these special things. I hope you have a chance to
be thankful too and that all your Christmas preparations (if you celebrate them)
go well. Have an amazing day,
