I am Thankful

This weekend was Thanksgiving weekend and I was at a relatives house who lives 6 hours away and I didn't get back till yesterday night, it was an alright Thanksgiving, but I wasn't really in a really thankful mood, I have been really tired and sad lately and I was really disappointed my 2 sisters were not gonna be home for Thanksgiving, my eldest sister Natasha is in Germany right now and she has been gone for 9 months doing ministry, (she is coming home this mid November) and my 2nd oldest sister Rachel is in Denver going to a school for Social Justice (if anyone does not know what Social Justice is feel free to ask questions about it or you can go to this link about the school she is going to-

-I miss them both a lot. :(

But,I have to admit this weekend was good, I saw a ton of family I haven't seen since this summer and it was fun. :)

-Though I probably ate way to much! It was just all so good! :D

Yum. :)

I have a lot to be thankful for, so I don't really know why I wasn't in a thankful mood this past week and I kinda feel somewhat selfish considering there are people all around the world who are living off less than I do. I really have a ton to be thankful for.

I am Thankful for:

1. My family
2. My sisters
3. My church/youth group
4. My friends
5. My house
6. My country
7. My dog
8. My comfy bed/ room
9. Beautiful sunsets
10. My ipod/ music in general :)
11. Going for long walks with Friends
12. Freedom
13. Sleepovers
14. Late nights out
15. YC
16. Hanging out
17. My Faith in God

What are you thankful for?

~Always LOve, Mikayla

"If" by Rudyard Kipling

If

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
                               by Rudyard Kipling
