I've been lazy. actually. I am lazy. But I keep to my word. So I am doing something I should've been doing 2 years ago.
A few things I have been thankful for.
As a mission for myself and Robin, we've decided to write a few things that we have been thankful for over the week at the end of each week.
I realise that these posts will grow increasingly mundane... but I think its a nice gesture to exercise. I really hope I will continue this through the year.
so for the first week of 2012.
I am thankful for...(in no particular order)
-having such an enjoyable road trip up to 90mile beach. I expected some of the chaos from the last road trip to recur, but thankfully we were extremely tame and even got to do a lot of exploring around the north!
-for having an amazing friend like Jeanny who let me sleep over at her house after road trip (my brother texted me that day telling me to come home since he was having a sleep over :( ), the bed I slept on was amazing... it cradled my back PERFECTLY. best sleep I've had in a long time.
-for making Jeanny watch 2 movies in a row with me, first Drive and then Melancholia. Watching the both of us sob like retards as the credits rolled for Melancholia made the film feel so much more real and amazing and truly made me appreciate having such an awesome friend to sit there and cry with me. there's nothing like crying together to bring friends to a whole new level of friendship. :)
-For having a retarded brother that reminds me to turn off the bathroom light every time I forget to.
-For my amazing grandmother.... for yelling at me everyday to clean my room, but at the same time waking up early every morning to make sure I wake up on time for work and making sure I have something to eat/drink before I leave. Words cannot express my love for you.
-For my retarded workmates at Farmers. Thank you for making work bearable, making indian jokes with me and helping me deal with dumbass difficult customers. I dont know half the things we laugh about at work, but it never ceases to make my night.
-And finally. but thank you Wenyu for investing in a phone card so I can randomly call a certain retarded someone overseas. I'm just happy that even though he is so far away I can contact him. :) and at risk of him reading this I am going to stop gushing now.
okay. thats seven right?
Yeah they don't have any particular deeper meaning to them. And as I was writing this I realised that there's actually a lot of things I have to be thankful for... I simply cant fit it all into a single blog post. But there is still one huge thing that I have to be thankful for that I havent managed to fit up there. And that is God.
Hi God...
I know I have been distant this past year and there were so many times when I should've depended on you but I selfishly decided to rely on myself instead. Thank you so much... for everything. 2010 was a horrible year, in fact the worst I've had in years... and I wept to you everyday about it. Then came 2011 and it was actually amazing. You gave me hope and opportunities I would have never thought possible. I've been gifted with such amazing friends and more family. I've been gifted with tools. Yet never this year have I properly thanked you for it. In fact everything was going so well, I pretty much forgot to talk to you at all. So I guess I'm going to use this time to say sorry and thank you. For being there through the good times and the bad. This year I will work harder in putting you in the center of my life. I realise now I have to work harder to become a better christian, so I can show others the positive influence you have on my life. :) And I should never be afraid to admit that I love you because your love is the reason why there is good this world. You loved us so that we could love others. Also thank you for helping our youth group grow physically and spiritually this year and I hope you continue to use us to shine your light onto others.
Okay before I continue rambling forever... I should stop here.
damn its almost 4am. and I am still up writing this damned post while watching football with Wey.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME.... *____*
