Life is Good.

I've been thinking, I have it good. I mean, I have it awesome. I have a family that loves me so much, and although we aren't perfect, my parents are divorced and my mom's re-married... Thats how we work. Thats just how it is. I wouldn't change anything about us. I love my step-dad with my whole heart, he's raised me. I have an amazing little sister that I get along great with and can confide in always. Even when we have our spats we get over it in about 10 minutes. I also have a comfortable home. A cozy little bed, and all of the things I love to surround me. I have a car, I'm going to school, I have a job. I'm doing good.

I also have some of the best friends you could imagine. They keep me "me". They aren't afraid to tell me when I'm grumpy or changing for the worse. They will also give me honest input when we're shopping for clothes. They are the people that I have always trusted and have always loved and had fun with. They are the type of friends where you can just sit together in silence and it won't be awkward. It's just comfortable being with each other. We have been friends since we were 7. Now being 18 and still just as strong as ever, I hope that will never change.

Today i was reading through blogs, and I came to one that was about a woman dealing with her husbands death, and I'm thinking to myself... I am just so lucky. I think it's really important to take a minute and just realize what you have. How everything could be so much worse. You need to be grateful. You need to tell the important people in your life how much you love them every single day. How much you appreciate their being in your life. You never know what could happen tomorrow. Each day brings something new.
