In ten years, I’ll be who I am today, but a little bit older and a little bit better. In ten years, I’ll still be writing. In ten years, I’ll still make art. I’ll still love my family and friends, still enjoy all of the little things about life. I might be busier than I am now, but I’ll still enjoy the journey. I’ll probably be out of college, with a budding career as a journalist. Maybe I’ll live in New York City, and I’ll go out every weekend to share my art in Central Park. I might have a part time job and a small apartment while my career is still getting started. I’ll probably share the apartment with my sister–we’ll take on the city together and travel when we can. It won’t be perfect, but it’ll be amazing. In ten years, I’ll still be me.
Friendship is your go to for fun. The person who can turn you into a total goofball. You’ll do stupid things on purpose just for the sake of it. Friendship is how you really live. The moments together are the inspiration to get you through the moments apart. Life can get crazy, but playing truth or dare and making cookies at 2am together makes it ok. Your love doesn’t even need to be spoken. Friendship: the meaningful yet carefree ticket to laughter.
Sometimes I feel like I'm in a yellow mood. I feel very happy and I always smile when I feel yellow. Sometimes I can't help bouncing around like crazy. It is quite fun to be in a yellow mood.
Today I am grateful for my younger sister. It wasn't a great day and I got really grumpy and generally not fun to be around but she still wanted to play outside with me.
Today I am grateful for America, my country. I finished my history book for school today and I learned about Americans commemorating how our country started by celebrating the fourth of July. Throughout history, when any number of awful things were going on, people continued to celebrate our country. It really made me think about what America is. Why celebrate it? America was built on freedom. God created this beautiful land and placed on it people who He allowed to build a country where we can be free to say and believe whatever we believe is right. Now with the quarantine it may feel like our freedom is restricted, but we are still free to believe. I am thankful that my country gives me this right.
Today I am grateful for my Mom. We did our morning yoga as usual but this time my younger brother, Mason, did it with us. I was mad because it's sort of a special thing just for Mom and I, but she was calm and fair and kept me in good enough humor to enjoy yoga even if I did wish it was just the two of us. Later I did get some one on one time with Mom, though it was only at the grocery store. At the checkout she bought me a new flavor of chapstick (just don't tell any of my siblings). We also rented the movie of Little Women and something for the younger kids to watch. Mom read the book when she was around my age and she loved it and was excited for me to read it last year. I loved it just as much. So with our mutual love of the story we cuddled up to watch the movie after dinner. I am thankful for the wonderful time that I got to spend with my Mom today.
Today I am grateful for spring. It's been pretty cold out the last few days, but today wasn't bad. I did some art outside and watched three birds as they loudly squabbled and flapped their wings in a nearby tree. Later I took a walk at the edge of the woods and admired the many flowers preparing to open up any day now. I was cold when I got back from a bike ride with my brother, but it was so good to be outside! I am so thankful spring is here; I don't know what I'd do if it wasn't.
Today I am grateful for God. I could go on for hours with the reasons but I haven't got the time for that so I'll leave it at this: What could I be more thankful for than the One who made everything that is good?
