Thankful

I just have to say that I am very thankful for everything that I have. I have a wonderful husband you shows that he cares for me and tries to make me happy. I have a beautiful baby girl that lights up my whole world. I have a very good supportive family that helps me with everything. I have a good relationship with my husband. We rarely ever argue, like more than just stupid little things. We have never really had a big argument because we care too much for each other that we don't want hurt each others feelings. We have a nice comfy house, and at 20 years old thats a big accomplishment. We both have good jobs, so we don't have to worry too much about how we are going to make the bills. We both have a car to get where we need to. We have a good little family! I say this because I am seeing a lot of people on facebook saying that they are having problems with their significant others, or they are breaking up and that there is no hope! Its so sad to see that. Especially when there are children involved. I just wish that I could share with them all how Jake and I work things out but I know they probably won't listen to me. People seem to be convinced that relationships will just work themselves out if its meant to happen. Well guess what! It takes a lot of work and commitment to make a relationship strong and to be able to jump the hurdles and get through all the detours that come along with life and happiness. You have to go through a lot of bad and depressing things to get to be happy. You have to know what its like to be miserable in order to know if your truly happy. Just like you have to get ripped off a few times to know what to look for so that it doesn't happen again. You have to know what its like to be poor in order to know how to handle more money properly. But the harder you work to make things right and to make you and your family happy, the more it will work out. Yeah it may take years and lots of hard times to get to where you want to be. But isn't it worth it once you get there. If you've had to work hard for something, doesn't it feel so good when you get it? Compared to when its just handed to you? I know it does from experience. I also know that my challenges will never stop. Every day is challenge, its just about how you face that challenge and if you decide to over come it. If you just give up because its too hard, it will never work out. Life is hard and it never ceases to be that way. So suck it up and be the best that you can be. Don't be a whimp and give when things get "too hard." If it was too hard for us to handle, it never would have come across our paths. We need to learn from these things to make ourselves into better persons. We need to grow from these challenges and then our lives can move forward. Other wise our lives are boring and worthless. So think about that the next time you are faced with a challenge. Think about how you can overcome it. And how you can grow from the experience. Be a better person. You always have room for improvement.
