GRATITUDE!!!

So today I went and helped my aunt at a service thing...oh man I am SO blessed in this life!!! I can't believe how selfish I am at times, I have been spending all this time worring about boys, relationships, work, school, books, finances, my family, etc. but today I got hit with reality! I was just helping her carry bags and watch her girls (their going through a really hard time right now) and I was watching the people around me. There were over 150 homeless and destitute families from all over Utah there today. I can't believe it some many people have life so much more difficult than I if I just took the time to step out of my own little world I could help so much more!!! I was able to stay and help a lot of the families today which was an amazing experience!!!

I am SO grateful for the things I have been blessed with in this life. I can't believe how much I have taken for grantide. I also saw Seven Pounds last night which is another reason I think this has all hit me so hard....I want to make an impact like that on someone's life. I want to be someone who helps every single person I come in contact with, but I want to do it without thanks or acknowledgement of my deeds!!! I am SO SO SO lucky for all the blessing's I have sure things have been hard, sure relationships are difficult, sure money is an issue at times, sure I have a million dreams I may never be able to see through. But I have a home that I am safe in, I have a family who loves me dearly, I have friends who are the most amazing people I know, I have a job I love, I have the ability to help others around me, and I promise myself right now I'm gonna do it!!! :D
