This evening we were watching my favorite channel of TLC. There was a show on and I don't even remember the name of it but it was about a girl with the disease progeria. The disease causes the host to age more quickly than normal. They are usually quite small, without hair, and have a lot of other undesirable symptoms. The girl was talking about how she would have dreams of having long beautiful hair. All she wanted was to be able to have long hair that she would let blow in the wind. As I was watching I thought of how often I complain about going outside and the wind blowing my hair into my face. What a simple everday occurance that happens, and yet I have NEVER realized that for someone without hair, a bad hair day because of that nasty wind could mean the world. I am so quick to forget the blessings that I enjoy each day. Tonight I would like to say five simple things that I am grateful for
1. The feeling of sore legs after a workout because this means I have the ability to run
2. Stress from school because this means I have the opportunity to get an education
3. Having to get up early because I have a job
4. Sharing my bed because I have someone that I love to share it with
5. Feeling exhausted after a long week because I have accomplished many things
