Unwritten

"Every day is another page that's added to my story
Sometimes it's like, I see my life open right before me
More than all the chapters of my life,
I'm thankful for what's not in black and white

For the roads I've never traveled, for the pain I never knew
For the places that you kept me from, Father I thank you
For the days that were not wasted,
For the days that were not spent in vain
I'm grateful for the days that remain, unwritten

Through twists and turns, Lord I've learned
Any place I'm going, you're mercy's been with me in
Always that I could know and through the miles and all I've seen and done
there's so much you have protected my heart from

For the roads I've never traveled, for the pain I never knew

For the places that you kept me from, Father I thank you
For the days that were not wasted
For the days that were not spent in vain
I'm grateful for the days that remain, unwritten

From cover to cover I've been sheltered by your grace
for so long, in so many untold ways

For the roads I've never traveled, for the pain I never knew

For the places that you kept me from, Father I thank you
For the days that were not wasted
For the days that were not spent in vain
I'm grateful for the days that remain, unwritten"

Hilary Weeks's "Unwritten"

Today was one of those days that reminded me that I need to show more gratitude. I could have ended up a lot worse, under the circumstances. So here's a list of gratitudes:

• Not being internally decapitated
• Not being externally decapitated
• The music that bouy's my weary heart up
• Friends that do the same.
• Always and forever, my family. All crazy, insane, infuriating members of my family.
• The Gospel.
• My work, that allows me to make a small difference in somebody's life every day.
• The determination and perserverance to make it through anything.
• Finding that I don't need anyone to survive, but that I have everyone I need to thrive.
• Knowing that part of being happy is the choice to be happy
• Learning my weaknesses, and through them, learning my strengths.
• Living in a place where outside activity is plentiful
• Learning who I am.
