Tuesday, 20, November, 2013, The Earth

But over all, I'm grateful for

The Earth!

  

        The earth houses all creatures including humans. Without the Earth there would be no humans, no rockets, no electricity, no imagination, no rain, nothing! The earth supplies us with resources we need to invent all of the amazing thing we're grateful for. The Earth is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I hope you all agree.

        If you'd like you can add the the 31st day of gratitude by putting a list of 30 things your grateful for in the comments for this post!

                              Today I'm grateful for cameras!

                                

   Things cameras do:

* They make entertainment
* They capture memories
* They can be jobs

        The reason I'm grateful for cameras today is because of two things, one, they capture memories, and two, they make entertainment. I combined these two things to make an entertaining slideshow of my two birds. It was fun to make and it has a lot of memories in it. I'll post a link to it as soon as I can, but I'm very grateful for cameras.

        Things cookies do:
   They keep kids happy
   They keep people happy
   They're a nice snack to have
   
          The reason I'm grateful for cookies today is actually NONE of these reasons. The reason I did not list it is because hardly anyone uses cookies this way. I was part of a fundraising project and I did a bake sale to earn money. Without cookies I wouldn't have been able to help out in the project. Cookies helped improve lives for people because I used them this way.

        If you would like to see or even help out with the project that I did, go to this website.

* It entertains me
* It might help me make a difference by convincing Nintendo to bring N64 back

        The reason I'm grateful for my N64 today is because of the first reason I mentioned, it entertains me. This post will be VERY close to the post I made about my Wii and some what close to the post on my DS. Because all it really does is entertain me.... and entertain me... and.... Well you know the rest! But just because it mainly only entertains me, doesn't mean I'm not very grateful for it. I'm SUPER grateful for my N64.

Saturday, 10, November, 2013, Pencils

* Gives us our water supply
* It's beautiful
* And it entertains kids!

        A specific reason that I'm grateful for rain is how beautiful it is. Just the way it glitters on the plants and makes such a soothing sound when it falls on my roof. I absolutely love it when it rains!

FYI: I'm trying out different styles of writing what I'm grateful for to make it take up a little less time. I might switch back to long passages eventually though.

Thursday, 8, November, 2013, The Sun

                              Today I'm grateful for the sun!

              

        The sun is awesome! Here's what it does, first it heats up our day, second it feeds our plants, third it's beautiful in the evenings (and is fun to watch then), and it makes so we can see! Check out these videos...

Wednesday, 7, November, 2013, Trees

                                  Today I'm grateful for trees!
            

        Trees are wonderful! When you actually THINK about what trees do for you it's really amazing! Think about it... When you go outside on a sunny day and sit in the shade reading a good book and just enjoying yourself, well I'm guessing the shade is most likely from a tree, which makes the first reason that trees are great is, shade. Let's think again... You're taking a nice relaxing walk on a trail through the forest and you're enjoying the sounds of the animals and the birds, you're also not over-heating because the whole trail is shaded, well once again you owe this to trees, one they make the forest, two they make it possible for animals to live there, and three again the shade would not be there without the trees. So now we've counted quite a few things that trees do for us, but now I want to go over the SUPER reason. Of course you can live without a forest nearby or shade, but if there was no trees there wouldn't be enough oxygen to live off in the air! Now that's crazy! So hopefully next time you sit under your favorite tree or go and take a walk in the forest, you think of how special trees really are.

Tuesday, 6, November, 2013, Imagination

                        Today I'm grateful for imaginations!   

        Imagination is amazing! All of the inventions in the world owe their existence to imagination! Parents lives depend on imagination! Entertainment like books and movies also originated from imagination! 
        You probably don't know WHY imagination is so important ,well, I'll explain. First, famous people that invented things like the light bulb, car, TV, or computer needed to THINK of the idea first, which means they had crazy imaginations that produced these ideas and without them there would be no light bulb, car, TV, or computer. Second, parents would most likely literally DIE if their kids didn't have imagination to keep them occupied. Finally, most entertainment for anybody wouldn't exist without imagination, this also pertains to the FIRST reason with the "inventing" part, so that's already mostly taken care of. But I think you can see how important imagination is now... Well at least I hope so.  ;)

Monday, 5, November, 2013, Beds

                                Today I'm grateful for beds!
                
         Beds are wonderful! OK, so if you think about it, life would be a LOT less awesome at night without beds, I mean imagine if you had yo sleep on the tile, or whatever flooring you have, OUCH! When you wake up, think of how much your back would hurt, but I guess if you were used to sleepin without then it wouldn't be at bad. But imagine it like this, you wake up one morning, you go and eat your breakfast, go back to your room to get dressed and YOUR BED'S GONE!!! What are you going to do? You just ordered the beds online, but they won't get here until Thursday, which is 3 days away! You also have a huge hard day at work today and you want to come home to your nice plush bed, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE A BED! You think, "OK, I'm not a baby, so I'll go and get the padding out of my storage." Well, you get to your storage and all the padding is gone! What are you going to do?!
        OK, I could go on and on with that story, but you can do that yourself. So back to the point, it would become annoying to deal with work if you didn't have a bed. I'm SO glad that I have a bed! 

Sunday, 4, November, 2013, Bedrooms

                       Today I'm grateful for my bedroom!

                                  (Sorry, no picture.)

       My room is the COOLEST it can get! I'm so lucky that I have my own room. It is very small, but it's the best room ever because it's mine! I can find a LOT of flaws with my room, but every flaw can be thrown aside by thinking, "Hey! I've got my own room!" Now I'm not saying people that share rooms are super unlucky and their lives are terrible, because I know that anyone can find something good about it.
        Some of the good thing about having my own room is if I were to invite a friend over, we could actually hang out in my room, I don't have to wait to go to bed for the other person to turn off their light, and it's full of stuff I like. I'm so happy I have my own room!

Saturday, 3, November, 2013, Rabbit

                          Today I'm grateful for my rabbit!


                 (Sorry, no picture. BUT he is black and white)


        I LOVE my rabbit! He's so cute and cuddly! I just adore him! He doesn't really do much or me, but he's still my friend. I love to be around him because he petting him just makes me feel a lot more happy. He's loves me too, because whenever I open the door to his hutch he comes hopping over looking for some loves. It's so cool to have my own rabbit.

Friday, 2, November, 2013, Doctors

                        Today I'm grateful for doctors!

                                            

        Doctors are AMAZING! Although being a doctor wouldn't be at the top of my career list, they can some pretty cool things. Some people may think, "Doctors don't do anything, they just take the money and the credit that the NURSES deserve!"Well, if you think like this, there's no need to freak out because this is to selebrate surgeons, doctors, and nurses.  But in this section I'll be referring to them all mainly as "Doctors"

        Back to the point, doctors haven't really helped me too much, but I know that they do a LOT of good things for other people. Like brain surgeons, they can work miracles and save the happiness for a bunch of people. Doctors, well, doctors refer to a lot of different types, so that's a little hard to narrow down. Nurses, they tend to you in the hospital, give you shots, and help you relax before a surgery. As you can see doctors can be totally AWESOME!

Thursday, 1, November, 2013, Wii

                        Today I'm grateful for my Wii!

                                                                

        My Wii is FUN! It entertains me.... and entertains me.... and entertains me.... He he.... he.... he he.... he....  Well.... I guess it's just fun and entertains me. So today's addition is pretty easy then... Well ummm... I LOVE my Wii!

Wednesday, Halloween, 30, October, 2013, Costume

           Today I'm grateful for my costume for Halloween!

                                 (Sorry, no picture.)

        My costume was AWESOME! I dyed my hair blue and sparkly. Then I put on blue makeup and a tiara. Then I wore pink wings, white gloves, 2 white sparkly necklaces, 1 blue sparkly blue necklace, a wavy blue shirt, a long blue skirt, and my tennis shoes. Even though nobody new what I was My costume was still awesome.

FYI: I was an ice dragon princess.

Tuesday, 29, October, 2013, Cats

                          Today I'm grateful for my cats!

                                 (Sorry, no pictures.)

        I LOVE my cats! I have three cats, Sammy is a boy Siamese cat, Fred is also a boy and is a fluffy tabby, and Eevee is a girl orange and normal tabby. They're so sweet and just lift my spirits.
        Today I was feeling sad for no specific reason and my cats helped me! I was sad and I was thinking of something I could do to feel better and I thought to go outside on my porch to get some peace and quiet. When I went outside my cats came out of their boxes to come see me. I started to pet them and I almost immediately felt better!

Monday, 28, October, 2013, DS

                             Today I'm grateful My DS! 

                      


        My DS is the COOLEST! I love my DS! It keeps me entertained, I can't get grounded from it, and I can take it anywhere! 
        The main reason I like my DS is because it keeps me entertained. I try not to play it too much so I don't get bored from it, but I play it when I want to. Today I got REALLY bored and I was grounded from video games, but since I own my DS I can't be grounded from it. So I decided to play it and be happy instead of feel angry because I can't play video games.

Sunday, 27, October, 2013, Parakeets

                      Today I'm grateful for my parakeets!

                 

        My pet parakeets are so CUTE AND AWESOME!!! The blue one is Felix and the green one is Kachiri. I love them both very much. Felix is trained and will hop off and on my finger. Kachiri isn't quite trained yet and only let's me pet her.
        I'm grateful for them pretty much because they're my pets and not everyone can have parakeets so it makes me extra grateful for them. Sometimes they get really noisy and bother me, but I still love them. I've also always wanted a parrot and parakeets are a subspecies of parots so they're closely related.

Saturday, 26, October, 2013, Food

                              Today I'm grateful for food!

                     

        Food keeps us alive! Food is something we need to survive! Food may seem like something not to be grateful for because we seem to always have it. That's a TERRIBLE reason to NOT be grateful for food! Some people don't HAVE food! That's crazy!!!! I'm not going to tire myself explaining WHY I'm grateful for because the last three sentences should do it.

Friday, 25, October, 2013, Bearded Dragon

        Today I'm grateful for spike, my bearded dragon lizard!

       
            

        He's the coolest pet ever!!! Even though he sits in his tank and does pretty much nothing, he is the best pet I could have! He makes my room cooler, he doesn't bite, and he'll just about anything. He also listens to me whenever I want.
       Today I felt really lonely because my sister was asleep and everyone else was gone. I went into my room to sit for while and think. Then I just felt like talking to someone. I walked over to Spike's tank and started talking to him. (Don't think I'm crazy, almost everyone talks to something that can't respond) He looked at me which made it seem like he understood what I was saying. After that I had a much better attitude and felt better.

Thursday, 24, October, 2013, Mom

                          Today I'm grateful for my mom!!!


                                      (Sorry, no picture)


        My mom is AWESOME! She helps me in so many different ways! She cooks me dinner, helps me with school (accationally), and is just there for me!
        Today she cooked this delicious dinner that no fancy restaurant could make! She knew just how much of each seasoning to put in and the perfect temperature to cook it. By the time it was done, it tasted SO good! Each dinner that she makes seems to taste better and better. I love my mom! She does a lot of things for me. 

Wednesday, 23, October, 2013, Teachers

                            Today I'm grateful for teachers!

                       

        Teachers do wonderful things! They help you with your problems, questions, and difficulties you might have. Some people probably think, "I don't like my teacher because she makes the schoolwork that I hate!" Well, actually that's incorrect. Teachers are like messengers, they HAND you the schoolwork that the STATE made. Teachers are actually good! (did you ever think of that? ;) 

        My teachers help me all the time with my problems! Whenever there's something wrong, I ask them and they can almost always help me. Teachers are awesome!

Tuesday, 22, October, 2013, Shoes

                          Today I'm grateful for shoes!

            

        Shoes are amazing! They protect our feet from weeds, rocks, and sometimes even stings from bugs. Shoe also make it easier to run and walk.
        Today I was outside in my yard to take care of my animals and shoes helped me! While I was out I noticed all the weeds attacking my feet and I didn't feel a thing! It was all because I was wearing my shoes! I could have been in terrible discomfort if I wasn't wearing them. Shoes really helped me today by protecting my feet from the weeds.

Monday, 21, October, 2013, Computers

  

                     Today I'm grateful for computers!

 

                                 

        Computers are wonderful inventions! They help in so many ways! Like they provide education, entertainment, information, and the can encourage socialization. 

        Today I became deathly bored and my computer helped me eliminate it! I was sitting on my couch thinking of what I could do to entertain myself. Then when I was about to give up on trying to figure out what I should do, it came to me! This is kind of simple, but I thought to play a computer game! That really helped me with my boredom
