an assignment that changed me...

Recently, my mom assigned my sister and I a school assignment of writing 100 things that we were thankful for. Sounds simple enough? Not true! It may also seem like quite a difficult task, figuring out 100 things that you personally are thankful for? Well, it was and it wasn't at the same time. It was enjoyable for me! It took more than just "writing a paper for school", it delved into the depths of my soul. Drawing out things I never knew I was thankful for! It was sweet to read my little sisters ;) Everything from the ocean, to her fingers and toes was on that list. I believe these will be items that will make me laugh someday. And amazing pieces of work I can look back on and recount just what was important to me then. Even as I look at it now, I am amazed at some of the things I am thankful for. I find myself asking aLOT, "this is really important 2 me?" I am surprised!
And this is my post for now, because I have been SO bad at posting =( sorry!
But, there will be more to come! These are simply my thoughts for today.
