I can’t believe I am so lucky to have such a blessed life … 10 seconds is not enough for me and my wordiness to capture the exact degree of my lucky-ness. But since this particular writing assignment prompted us to do both a ten-second write and doodle, I figured why not combine the two?! So that is just what I did. I didn’t let Flickr’s downtime stop me whatsoever, ’cause this DS106 flow is UNSTOPPABLE.

When Flickr is down, Twitter saves the day! No time for stressin'! #ds106 #writingassignments #WritingAssignment753 pic.twitter.com/5b9WWkcZ25

The things I am grateful for are, in no particular order:

• Faith
• Friends
• Family
• Hope
• Strength
• Health
• Creativity
• Life

… and boy, could the list go on for eternity. How on earth did I get so lucky to have this life choose me?!

I could not even list half of what I am so thankful for but I got the most important ones in my life. 10 seconds is not long enough to express my thanks in life but here are the ones that mean the most to me:

– Supporting Family

-Good education

-Great teammates

-Close friendships

10 seconds. What are you thankful for? On your marks, get set, GO!

For my second writing assignment of the week I chose 10 seconds of thanks. You have 10 seconds to write down as many things you can that your thankful for. I put my iphone stopwatch on and frantically started typing… here is what I came up with!

Family. Health. School. Friends.

it was easy to think of those 4. I was limited to how fast I can type so that sucked. I would have liked more time however I think that time restraint makes you put only your most important. I am so fortunate and lucky to have these 4 things. So many people around the world don’t have these and often for the people who do, they take them for granted.

Family: My family has been there for me since the beginning and still are. I love them more than anything.

Health: I have food and water available every day and have access to medicine that keeps me well.

School: I am getting an education that will allow me to be successful in my near and distant future.

Friends: Life is short and I am glad I am able to share the experience with great people I care about.

This was an activity I think every one should do! I have been told it is good for your health to write down 1 new thing a day that you are thankful for. Its a comparable activity, both with great benefits!
