This week, we are obviously thinking about gratitude. I'd like you to write a three paragraph journal entry that answers the following questions:
1. What do you tend to take for granted?
It is human nature for a person to take things for granted. Every day that passes things happened in our lives that we never give thanks for. Only when we lose that thing that we should have been grateful for we realize how we never gave thanks for it. In my life I have many situations like this that I forget to thank god for. Even though there has been many challenges in my life there has been many good things in my life. I usually to for granted my health,my job and where I live. Even though I miss my family in brazil i have to thank god that I am in america the land of opportunity. There are many people without jobs and I sometimes take this for granted. There are many sick people in the world that cant even walk! But god has blessed me with health even though I take it for grant sometimes.
2. What are you grateful for (what things, experiences, people, etc)
There are many things I am grateful for. I am very grateful I am alive and well. I am very grateful to have my own apartment. Ever since I can remember I have always wanted my own place. Now I have my own place that is safe and I can call home. I am so very grateful to meet my good friends Phyllis and Toby. Phyllis and Toby have reminded me of my grandparents and they are very kind and trust worthy people that has helped me through out my life. I am grateful the most for such a nice mother that has helped me through out everything. Even though my dad has not been a good influence in my life my mom made up for it by always helping me with everything.
3. What are some of the the good things that you you could "take in" and absorb more? Take in the good and write about the experience
some more of the good things I could take in would be laughing more. Even though I am a very goofy kid I would like to laugh even more! Laughing is cure to everything I think if your always laughing you will always be happy. Whenever I am down and feel sad if I turn on the T.V. or see something funny happening I start to laugh and forget about the negative and enjoy laughing. Who doesn't love laughing any ways to me laughing is a gate way to happiness and if you have a good senesce of humor and dont take what everyone says so serious you will always be happy!
laugh and be happy
or live die miserable
find your happiness happiness is life
happiness keeps us alive
happiness is life
to be happy is
is to be fully content
so find happiness
to be happy or
to be happy or be sad
that is the question
happiness moves us
moves us each day of our lives
that is what we strive
happiness and happiness
follow me everywhere i go
dont leave me alone
Good post.
ReplyDeleteI like how you changed up the design a little. Interesting to have each paragraph in a box. Good journal.
Your haiku's are pretty funny. Happiness seems to be a word you wanted to work with. Maybe you could try to change it up a bit and think of other words, even synonyms that could fit there.
Overall, good work. Poems seem a bit rushed.
