This question was a hard one for me to wrap my little brain around. I feel like I do a pretty good job of celebrating the things that I have, compared to the way others celebrate things they have. But, I still feel like I'm doing a terrible job. What does that say about the world? Honestly, for every 100 complaints I hear a day from friends, family, teachers, anyone, I hear maybe one celebration. Isn't that so sad? One thing I always say to people is 'wow, you're really pessimistic.' And the usual response I get? 'No, I'm not, I'm just being a realist.' Sorry, but that's not being realistic. Yes, I understand that you don't want to be that super optimistic person that gets let down a lot but, geez!, at least appreciate something in life. Everyone says they appreciate that they have a roof over their head and food on their plate but I don't see people appreciating that at all, I admit, I don't appreciate it as much as I should either. I don't want to babble on about this because I think the picture and the question have enough meaning in themselves. One thing I have celebrated today is the fact that I'm almost done with the semester (one more final to go!). But, more importantly, I'm thankful that I have been given to opportunity to attend college. So, what have you celebrated today? I know I've posted this picture before but
the words are so powerful, especially for today's question. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Be thankful you're here to celebrate it!

LOVE the poster/picture thing even though youve posted it before. The picture deserves to be shared more than once. :) I'm with you on the answer to this question.. I try to celebrate the things I have but I know that I don't always celebrate everything in life. Its extremely difficult to celebrate all the time, we're only human.
