I am thankful for all that I experienced last night. We had our Zumba FTK event. And it was very successful. Many stressed out days leading up to it but we did it. The Families had fun. The Kids had fun. The crowd had fun. At the end, we collected some really great memories that will never be forgotten. At least I won’t.

I am thankful for the people I have in my life. I know I am thankful for the people in my life every time but they really are the most important things you can ever have. With everything that’s been going on these past two weeks, it’s amazing what someone can do to make everything better even when they are miles apart. Even those that I see everyday cannot detect that something’s wrong. Is that sad? … Possibly.

I am thankful for music for it says everything I am afraid to say. I put my feelings and thoughts into words through music. Though I doubt I’ll ever share it, it’s nice to get it out.

My dad was in a car accident Tuesday. The car is totaled but that’s okay because he’s okay. He’s up and about so I’m not worried. I don’t know how I would react if something actually happened to him. I am thankful he is alive and well and that I can still speak to him.

I am thankful that five friends that were in accidents today are okay and well. They were all separate occasions at different places in Texas. Please drive safe guys. I don’t want to lose anyone anymore.

I am thankful for those I’ve met in FTK. Obviously there are sometimes people you cannot get along with or they are just horrible people that you don’t want to associate yourself with them. But luckily I’ve found some keepers that I would want in my life forever. Even when I graduate. Hopefully that does happen because we all know how terrible I am at keeping in touch when my life gets busy.

There are only a few people I still keep in touch with in FSA. I am thankful for them because they know me even though I’m not there. I cannot wait until sport practices start and dance practices start. I cannot wait to see everyone.

I wouldn’t be who I am today without some of these people in my life. I am thankful for the life I live for at any second, it can be taken away. With everything that goes on around us, we forget that living is a privilege.

I figured I would partake in the Thankful Things Thursday. Which some days will become Three Things Thursday. All depends on how I feel. Since it’s new to me I’ll just do the simple ones.

I am thankful for family. It’s getting harder and harder for all of us to be together so when we are, I cherish it. Every time I’m back here, I don’t want to leave. Sometimes we’ll fight or bicker, but I know in the end, we love each other even when we never utter that word to each other.

I am thankful for my friends. One of my New Year Resolution is to stay connected with the friends I’ve made and hopefully will make. Even though I don’t see or talk to them all the time, we can still hold a conversation. I hope they know I’m always here for them no matter what – even if we haven’t spoken in five years. Which has actually been a case.

I am thankful for Rocky. Every morning my family goes off to work and I will wake up finding him outside my door waiting for me. He’s always happy to see me and does not hesitate to give me wet kisses. He makes mornings not as lonely since he’ll just lay around wherever I am.

I am thankful for having readers. I blog about boring things and posts come out every once in a while during the school semesters. So to have any readers at all is still a surprise to me. I cannot wait to graduate so I have more time.

I am thankful that my family and friends understand my busy schedule. I’ve always been busy but with FTK stuff, I’ve been busier than ever. And I’m so happy they understand when I can’t come home and visit or I can’t go out and play with them. I’m thankful that they don’t get mad at me when I have to reschedule (which is a lot) and they still want to be my friend afterward. Which leads to …

I am thankful for Andrew C. I have been told to build a new FTK website and this winter break was my task at hand.  That and The FTK Blog. Andrew C. came out of nowhere and swooped in to save me. Okay I pretty much asked if he was willing to. Yes, coding is part of my major. But to do it all on my own is pretty much torture. Which leads to …

I am thankful the new FTK website and The FTK Blog is completed. There is still some work that is needed but to have it the gist of it completed, it just feels damn good.

I am thankful pita chips, bananas, and yogurt. It’s what’s been keeping me full when I’m hungry at night. They’re all gone now. Note to self: Go buy groceries!

I am thankful for fans. No, not screaming fans, though that would be pretty cool. It’s been fairly hot in my room the past few days but my Aunt gets cold easily so without fans, I would of already had a heatstroke.

I am thankful I have things to be thankful for. We live life unappreciative of things around us. I guess this is a good way to stop and “smell the flowers”.
