For the last week or so, I've felt really down. My motivation was gone and I felt like life wasn't really worth living. I didn't know what had changed! I was so happy only a couple of weeks ago....
A couple of weeks ago was Thanksgiving, and everyday for 15 days leading up to it, I would list 3 things I was grateful for.
I've realized that since I stopped doing that, I've also stopped looking for recognizing all the blessings in my life, and I think that's had such a big hand in why I've felt so blah.
What I ended up with at the end of those 15 days is a hodgepodge list, but it shows that there are so many things of different magnitudes to be grateful for. This is that list:
- My friendship with my mom, my little brother, colourful pens
- My warm bed, medication, literature
- My health, good music, opportunities to serve
- The Scriptures, the Internet, public transportation
- Institute, being alive, Tim Horton's
- General Conference, Latter-day prophets, Joseph Smith
- The Atonement of Christ, the power of the Holy Ghost, prayer
- Sweaters, exercise, hymns
- Water, my home, having graduated
- Breakfast foods, hair straighteners, dark lipstick
- Concerts, airplanes, driving
- My little cousins, missionaries, the sacrament
- Road trips, autumn, dreams
- Cats, cuddling, photo albums
- Fire, turkey dinners, LOVE
