Appreciation

This has been my life lately...

1. Watching One Tree Hill with Katie Hill (ha!) because she is finally realizing what an amazing show it is.
2. Hesitantly going to work
3. Already figuring out what I'm going to pack for London. I know, it's still 12 days away but packing for any trip is a lot for me. Packing for two weeks to another country to visit my boyfriend while I'm staying with someone I've never met...overwhelming. Haha but so unbelievably exciting.
4. Watching the Lakers/Dodgers with my dad (my current situation)
5. Eating/Snacking

So here I am. I realized today at work, somewhere between making 60 packets and 130 papers, that I am so ungrateful. I think we as a society have this ridiculous sense of self-entitlement. That we somehow deserve the world and if we don't get it, we become really frustrated. I know I do this. I complain about having to go work, but there are thousands of people in this country right now who would do anything to have a job. I'm sad that I still have 12 days until London....are you kidding me?? I'm going to London!!! There is no reason to be bummed that I still have 12 days. Whenever anything goes wrong in my life, I can't believe it. And yet, I don't deserve a thing.

I would like to be more thankful. To appreciate all the gifts I have more. To just love my life a little bit more. I mean, at what point in my life did I feel like I've earned anything? It says in Psalms that God has ordained every single day of our lives. And I don't think He has it planned for us to take anything for granted.

So starting now, I want to be more appreciative and less dramatic. I mean, c'mon...no one's life is perfect and I've got it pretty good. I've got friends to watch silly television shows with. I have a job to earn money. I have the incredible opportunity to go to London and visit Tyler. I have a good relationship with my dad and food to eat. Yup, I've got it pretty good.
