What are you Grateful for?

What are you grateful for today?

I am grateful for my health and my family. I am thankful for life so I can live to my full potential. Life can be hard at times, but there is always something good in store for us.

One of my favorite hobbies is journaling. I journal every day. It's a consistent hobby I have. What are you writing in your journal? Do you record any experiences that happen in your life?

Over the past two weeks, I’ve been very blessed. I have been blessed with an email from New York Magazine asking for my recommendation on the best beginner’s tennis racket. They even referred to me as an expert! I can't contain my excitement about this article. I shared it with every contact in my phone and on social media.

Another great blessing that happened to me was I received tennis rackets from Yonex. I received packets of strings from laserfibre. Lastly, I received a tennis ball painting from Buddytheball. I have never gotten mail like this from companies who trusted me with their product! It was a complete honor to unbox all of my packages and use them. I also created a video on youtube about my excitement.

Why should you even be grateful?

I know people right now who are struggling beyond measure. My little is a lot to them. I never take for granted any gift I receive. God has truly blessed me. I pray to be a blessing to others as he is to me. Never be ungrateful because at any moment you can struggle. Show gratitude in everything you do.
