I'm Thankful

Nothing lately has been heavy on my mind, phew that's a good sign.

Today I woke up a little late and went to church. Unexpectedly I started bawling, at church I never do listen to the pastor or anything like that, no at church I am in my own world, thoughts float around in my mind and I reflect on my life. I look at my problems and count my blessings. That leads to why I was crying. My aunt claims to be a palm reader, she refused to read any of older cousins palm, but when I waved mines in her face she grabbed it. She read it out loud in Filipino. I couldn't understand some things she was saying. I later asked my older cousin who was around, she said my aunt thinks I'm going to be successful. I don't believe in palm reading and all that, but I started to think about success. I always thought success is measured by the amount of money you have, but I finally came to my senses and realized there's more to it. Success in the dictionary is not defined by material possessions but rather an accomplishment, an achievement. So as I stood in church I started thinking about my success and fortune, and I finally got it. I've been rich in love. Throughout my life there had been so many people who looked out for me, who thought there was something about me, who cared for me. I never had a friend mad at me or say something about me as far as I know, and I always had encouragement from so many people. I'm so thankful for that. I always grumbled on the unfair life I lived, how it was unfair I didn't have a normal happy home, unfair I can't enjoy the simple things, unfair... but through it all someone was there, my aunties and uncles watched out for me and took me in when my mother was upset. In elementary school, I had sympathy from my teachers. Even now, I have teachers, who practically are like my parents. My friends ask me what's wrong..Through every stage in life I had someone looking out for me... I just never noticed it...

I LOVE YOU & THANK YOU...
I'm rich at heart and love,
no one can take that away from me.
