i'm thankful for...
being done with class and getting that much closer to the end of this endorsement thing.
.
.: it's just good practice to stop and ponder (as frequently as possible) the things that you are thankful for; otherwise they slip past and don't receive the kind of recognition they deserve. so the THANKFULNESS PROJECT is a personal challenge to find at least one thing every day that I am thankful for - silly things, weird things, funny things, simple things, random things, food things, nature things, God things, people things, ALL THINGS. it's good to be grateful :.
