Love. The number one thin I will always take for granted. I Get tough love from my boyfriend but that is all understanding on my view of the relationship. It's a love that won't compare to no other. Our relationship deals with a love that will always be taken for granted. We don't know how to grab right onto it and make it into something amazing. The love will always be special and important to me. But it will always be taken for granted. This tough love compared to my moms love differs a whole lot. Her love will always be unconditional and will always be forgiven. Often I make mistakes that just take so much to forgive but have the reassurance of her love is great. It's a love that gets taken for granted no matter what situation.
Without a doubt in my head I am truly grateful for my boyfriend. Ever since the huge drama with my ex-boyfriend, he has been a huge impact in my crazy life. With every step I take or decision I make, he is the only one who will advise and hold my hand throughout it all. We have been through tough times ourselves that it only makes us stronger and healthier. Now that I am living on my own, I get nothing but respect from him. He is someone that will always guide me into the right path. Whether he knows it's right or wrong he knows very well to lead me into the right path. Other than being my boyfriend he is a great friend and I can tell anything too. Nothing and no one will ever compare to him. I am grateful to have him in myife and I hope to have him for a longer time.
I can take in my thoughts much more and let it all out. A person can have so many thoughts that at times we just don't know where to put it all. There are times where I'm stuck in a situation where I need to speak up but I won't speak up at the time. At work I'll have problems with a manager or someone I don't get along with and I won't speak up. Thats the main problem. I don't blab my thoughts to make changes. That goes for my boyfriend at times we'll argue but it won't go far because of me, nothing will get settled because I don't take the time to say what is truly important. I have to learn and take in what I have to respond or react when I'm in situations where its needed for me to do so. Its not easy for me to simple blab, I was never thought to do so. It runs in my family. With my family there was no communication what so ever, I guess that can be a reason to why I moved out and why us being in the same house can get annoying and bad at times. I know that it will eventually sink into me and I will speak what I think.
Five
The sun shining bright
flowers starting to bloom
spring is coming soon
Early mornings
a tug on my blanket
the rugrat is up.
The wind blowing so hard
leaves flying everywhere
when will it be warm.
A wonderful smile,
that I never see so often
brightens up my day.
two weeks, and she's off
a new journey without me.
I wish you luck mom.
Nicole,
ReplyDeleteGood post. I like that you focused on people in your gratitude post. Love. Love from and for your boyfriend, and love from and for your mother. These are the big things that we should all be grateful for - our relationships with loved ones (often gets taken for granted).
Your third paragraph, about thoughts, is very interesting, but I'm not sure how it relates to gratitude. It's sort of off topic. Take a second look and see how you could tweak it to fit in with the overall theme of your post.
Your haikus are fun! Great job. Very creative little twists on life's little observations. I like the "rugrat" one. Very in the moment indeed.
This is good work, albeit a little late and a little rushed (read your first sentence - there is a typo that needs to be fixed).
Let's try to ramp up the effort a bit more as we head into our final 6 weeks of the course. I want you to show off your skills, stay organized, and finish strong.
Let's do that.
GR: 80 (-10 late)
