Gratitude - #UgBloggers7Days

So I have been challenged to do a blog a day for 7 days? Does anybody know how difficult a target that is? I’m barely writing a blog a month because of a writing rut, too much work, no time and so forth (someone must be screaming I have all those conditions but still get it done!)

So what does a girl want to write about? My brain is raving and I have too many things I want to write about and too little words to describe them. Those days when you have brilliant writing ideas and a desert of words to materialize your ideas…. (See my life)

So I thought maybe I should describe my busy weekend and embellish it... but who wants to know about my weekend? Was it extra ordinary enough to create change in anyone's life? I mean it’s not like I landed on answers that would solve the Princess Diana death mystery or decipher a cure for Cancer. So that automatically goes out the window.

I thought about a rant… but isn’t that what I always do? Constantly taking shots at the things I’m not happy about, what the government has done wrong (the folks have an infinite list), or probably beating myself up for not excelling at something that seemed like child's play. 

I thought I would describe my day in detail but that’s somewhat tricky seeing as my day has been rather uninteresting.

So I have decided to be grateful. It’s been a lovely 26 years on earth and I am confident I have many more to come (yes am proud of my age). I have seen things and people come and go but I’m still here.

With all the love a girl has, I am grateful for God’s guidance in getting me this far. "Ebenezer this far Lord you have taken me."

Also, I am grateful for this awesome job that I have. It gives me enough time to write a blog and lately it has helped me explore my creative side.

My friends who are crazy and loyal to the core deserve nothign short of a salute. I have each and every one of you at heart - even Johnson who is supposed to be my wingman but somehow recently neglected his duties. (Insert angry face) 

It might seem strange, funny even, but I'm grateful I haven’t met Mr. Right yet. Dear Mr. Right, I beg of you to understand my predicament. I have a lot going on right now and I doubt I'd give you the undivided love and attention that you (will) deserve. 

Finally, this blog post would be a waste of time if I did not send a shout out to my awesome family; you rock! You are my support system and I know I can be a pain every once in a while but you never throw me out. You are heaven sent! Thank you for not getting tired of me and for loving me just the way I am.

I still have a lot to be thankful for but I feel like I ought to reserve some of my words for the remaining 6 days of the #UgBloggers7Days challenge.
