Things to be Thankful For by Unknown

Robin Sykes

Be Thankful For The Clothes That Fit a Little too Snug, because it Means you have enough to eat. Be Thankful For The Mess you Clean up after a Party, because it Means you have been Surrounded by Friends. Be Thankful For The Taxes you pay, because it means That you’re employed. Be Thankful That your Lawn needs moving and your Windows needs fixing, because it means you have a home. Be Thankful For your heating bill, because it means you are Warm. Be Thankful For The Laundry, because it means you have Clothes to Wear. Be Thankful For The Space you Find at The Far end of The parking Lot, because it means you can Walk. Be Thankful For The Lady who Sings off-Key behind you in Church, because it means you Can hear. Be Thankful People Complain about the Goverment, because it means We have Freedom of Speech. Be Thakful For The Alarm That Goes off in the early Morning hours, because it Means you’re alive.

Success & Blessings

Born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, I am the youngest of eight siblings. My father has passed away, but my parents, both everyday people and U.S. Army veterans, instilled strong values in me. I graduated from Jean Ribault Senior High School and went on to earn my bachelor's degree in English with an emphasis in professional writing, graduating cum laude from Grand Canyon University. Currently, I am an Avon independent sales ambassador. I am a Christian, a proud Florida girl, and an encourager. As a millennial, blogger, sports fan, foodie, disabled woman, ambivert, and everyday woman, I embrace my multifaceted identity. I live in Jacksonville with my mom, cherishing my roots and the vibrant community that shapes me.
