I know I am not always everything everyone would like for me to be. But I really want you to understand I am just me. I am just someone who tries to do my best, but who does not always follow through, even though I really want to. I am someone who still has insecurities and doubts and who is still trying to figure out what life is all about. I am somebody who loves to laugh and who thinks that the nicest treasures in the world are love, family and friends. But sometimes I am somebody who cries and feels like going back to the beginning and starting all over again. I am someone who has hopes and dreams and who tries to bring smiles to the people I am close to. We do not often take the time out of our busy life to think about all the beautiful things and to be thankful for them. If we did reflect on there things we would realize how very lucky and fortunate we really are. I am very thankful for the love in my life, which is so complete and fulfilling and is based on honesty, equality, intellectualism and romance. I am very thankful for the love of the children that surrounds me, which is all encompassing and is based on teaching, tenderness, sensitivity, caring and hugging. I am thankful that I am able to love and that the love is returned to me. I am very thankful that I am healthy and that the people I love are healthy. I am very thankful that I have dreams to follow and goals to strive for. I am thankful for the beauty of nature, magnificent mountains, the colorful leaves, and the smell of flowers, the roaring of the waves, the setting sun and the rising moon. Everywhere I look I see the wonders of nature and I feel so proud to be a small part of it. I am very thankful for all the good people in the world. I am very thankful that I have good friends. I am very thankful to be a live in a time when we can make the world a better place to live in.
