Today, I am grateful. 

I could count the numerous things that happened today which made me upset, dissatisfied, discontent. But I'd rather not. As I walked the streets that lead me back home, I found myself slipped into reverie. A reverie which reminded me of how much I have. The friends I've been blessed with, and the family who would stop at nothing to make life a little brighter. 

I have to say - I'm a terribly stubborn daughter. I always believe, in arrogance, my ability and self-worth is enough to carry me through. I depend on myself first; it is only when I fail I turn to Him. It's crazy to think an all powerful, almighty God would bother with me, time and again, despite my often mistakes, and failure to rely on Him. But He doesn't just bother with me, He is jealous for me. 

His love surely has to be the most captivating thing I've ever known. 

If I have learnt nothing:

1. Money is not water - use it sparingly. (Better yet, stop spending money on water). 

2. I have come to appreciate, and stop coveting, the work of great writers, amateur or professional. 

3. A good essay is first written with great grammar, then good spelling, and finally, clever use of a decent vocabulary. 

4. I need to work on my spelling. And grammar. 

Cheers!
