happy thoughts

I feel really very happy today. I am not letting any stress get to me. I think I need to try to be more positive again, not that i stopped being positive but I let my anxiety get the best of me and I have been realizing lately that things could be worse. I could be dealing with worse/bigger/different things in my life and I have to be thankful for what I have and am given each day. waking up each day is a gift in itself, too many kids our age are passing WAY too soon. (not that we are kids but 23 is not exactly a full blown adult either in my eyes, okay that sounds bad. but whatever i know what i mean in my own head) there are just so many other things in life that could bog down my happiness so i have to look at the positives and be happy with what I've got. because what i've got is amazing and I am thankful and happy.
for some reason this whole rant just came to my mind so i had to share. dont get my wrong i am not trying to be all "my life is so great" i am just saying that i am realizing more and more each day that it could be worse and i am realizing i truly need to cherish every single day and i need to be thankful for each day and all the positive things they bring.
