I ' m thankful for how my life has turned out . This is not where I thought I ' d be at 25 . This is so much better . I ' m thankful for everything it took to get here . I ' m thankful my mom is doing okay after just four months . I ' m thankful my husband can be here today . I ' m thankful that I started running and found this place , because y ' all really brighten my days . <| sep |> no problem , good luck finding a nice trade ! <| sep |> Starting strong , eh ? <| sep |> I ' ve had to stop reading my news sources and Twitter . I am a news junkie , but cannot handle anymore political news . I have taken to reading international news sources , which helps and expands my knowledge . There have been hate crimes in my neck of the woods too . Breaks my heart .
