Even for passive people its hard.

When I look at the lives’ of all my friends and acquaintances, I get a little uneasy. Its so natural to look at what they have that I don’t, or what I have that they don’t. 

Its so easy to pick out all you like and all you don’t.

And this kind of comparison does no good for anyone. 

It brings such a heart of unthankfulness and dissatisfaction. 

When the very ordeal of life is something to throw up praise for, that we have the sun above us and the earth below us, that we are breathing in and out this very moment.

Life itself is something to be so thankful for. When we look at that, really take it all in, its hard to imagine how we could ever not be gratful.

Today is New Years Eve. People make those things, what are they called? -Resolutions?

New Years Resolutions.

I’m not really into that. 

But I am deciding to take every day of this new year for its full worth.

The only real kind of failure is wasting time. And I refuse to let failure into this new year.

I will take every day for all I can, I promise you that.

2012.

Another year.

Another time.

Another opportunity to be thankful.

To treasure life, and all the beautiful things and people around me.
