I have amazing friends. You are my chosen family and I don't think I mention it enough how blessed I have been to be accepted into groups of people that are just awesome. I am so lucky to share and enjoy so many amazing things with you... weddings... babies... breakfast. Not everyone is so lucky to have people like you. I am so grateful for each and every one of you for so many different reasons. You make me so happy.
I have someone who loves me. He loves me unconditionally, even when I'm being stupid, feel ugly, hate everything in my life and just want to roll over and die. He is supportive of my career, of my hobbies and passions. He helps to provide a life and a home for me that I wouldn't otherwise have. He is goofy, he is wonderful, and I am so grateful to go home every day to someone that amazing. Not everyone is so lucky, I am so lucky.
I have a family. I am grateful for everything that they have given me from food and clothing, to advice and love. They are kind, they are smart, they made me who I am today... And even though my family unit isn't your typical family, I am grateful for each member of my family, because without them who knows who I would be.
I have an amazing home. We have things in our home too. I dont sleep on the floor, I don't wonder where my water is going to come from. I have a door to open for my friends and family to come through and a door to close to protect me from the weather. I am grateful to be able to afford to have such an amazing place to live.
I love my job. I have people that call and ask for ME to do their hair! Me! And I get to make money doing it! I get to share in the lives of so many incredible people going through their own lives and struggles, and I get to help them feel wonderful about themselves. I am thankful for each of my friends who became clients, clients who became friends and every client I haven't even met yet. I am so grateful that I get to spend my life doing something so wonderful every day.
I live in one of the most beautiful places on earth. It rains here. It is green, the air is fresh, the water is clean and I get to live here. I am so grateful to be Canadian, to live in British Columbia and to be able to look out at a thriving, busy and amazing city and feel safe to walk the streets.
My life is amazing, and I know your life is too. I challenge you to look at your life and be grateful for what makes even the worst day seem not so bad. At the end of every dark tunnel, there is a light.
Blog, and be happy!
Kyleigh.
