Appreciation

I lented facebook this year and being back on it doesn't seem as satisfying, in fact it's discouraging. I keep getting news feed about so and so getting into their awaited grad school, or yea he's engaged, or pictures of place she's gone to travel to. So I find myself, comparing, and seeing that I feel really stuck where I am.

I took some time off this week to just think over some things in my life. Today I felt that I went unnoticed and unappreciated. As a result, I didn't get to eat dinner, and I have to return shorts. I thought about a lot of people who've come across my life today, and I wondered whether somewhere out there someone is thinking about me. I don't mean the oh-yea-I'll-see-her-tomorrow people, but the people you haven't thought about in a while, those people. Maybe they don't.

I thought about my family members today. How often do you think about your grandparents? Or the black sheep of your family? How often do you think to want to buy something for them or spend some time grabbing something they'd want to eat instead? I can't say that I do, but I did today.

We get so focused on we think life is about. There's a lot more to life than that and this.

Oh, I also thought about you:

-How was Oregon?

-Is your car matte?

-What's your younger sister doing now?

-Dude, where are you now?

-Did you get to eat sushi for dinner again?

-How was the show?

-I'm sorry, I didn't get to call you.

-Wow, so you're getting married?

-Did you get to eat dinner?

that makes it 9. Hope you know that you're appreciated because someone you probably wouldn't have guessed, thought about you today.
