Grateful health

Jenna's Grateful...Today I am grateful for how millions of Americans are taking a stand to show their opinion, their thoughts and their favors for or against health care reform in our country. It's so nice to see freedom of speech being displayed all across the U.S. Whether you support nationalized health care or not, people are making and taking a stand. I felt as if citizens in this country forgot what taking a stand was all about and now I see that we haven't. People of all sorts are coming together and demonstrating how they feel about this topic. Today there was a rally in Atlanta, GA. that 4.5 million people attended to get voices heard. If anything this health care talk is sparking people to action. So today, I am grateful for not only my ability to state my opinion on this very issue, and other issues, but grateful that myself and other Americans are taking a stand and telling our congressmen and women what we want and what we don't want. We are finally getting our voices heard and that my friends, is a beautiful thing!

A BOOK of gratitude!

Jenna's Grateful...So I have been a bit stressed with trying to finish this book that I am writing and then it occurred to me how lucky I am to be writing one. I was thinking about it so much last night and I realized that by the time I am 24 I will be a published author.  It didn't really hit me until last night that my book would be up for sale in numerous book stores across the country and maybe even in Japan too. Wow, what an accomplishment! I am so lucky to have been giving this opportunity from my father. I am so thankful to have a father that has work so hard for over 40 years to get where he is today not only for himself but for his family too. He has given me windows of opportunity to do whatever I want in the world, and without him and all of his hard work I would not be getting a book published. He has shown me how to work hard, but also how working hard can help me achieve all my dreams in my life! This is a dream come true and something I will be proud of for the rest of my life. Even I don't ever get published again, at least I was published one time in my life! I love how I will be able to show my future kids that I was a published author.  I will be ever grateful and happy for this opportunity. 

IPhone- more like ILife!

Jenna's Grateful... I Phones are truly a beautiful thing.  Talk about having everything you want on your phone! You need to check an email, no problem with the IPhone- you need to find out where you are going, good thing for the IPhone map that allows you to type in any address any place in the U.S. or even Canada from your current location and magically the phone gives you directions. I am so grateful to have been giving the opportunity to have an IPhone. While I hate being attached to my phone, I feel that we live in a time where that would happen regardless. With that said, I am grateful to be attached to my IPhone instead of my razor. The IPhone has brought simplicity to my life, which is a bit ironic for a phone that does so much! I find myself wasting less time while on the go then without it. So today I am grateful for that. 

Jenna's Grateful... for having the opportunity to see another part of our great country this weekend. I have never been to Smoot, Wyoming, which according to the 2000 census has a total of 182 people currently living there. Talk about small town USA!  I love visiting new places, emerging in new cultures and meeting new people so this trip should include all of that. I am also really grateful to be able to see the county fair and get another take on the town's attitude. 

So my friend Sarah is blogging about something everyday that she is grateful for, so I have decided to continue this trend and do my own. 

Jenna's Grateful:  for recently being able to buy her very first new/used car! I have always been a hard worker who has always been responsible with her money and it's finally paid off. I was recently able to buy my first car ever a used 2008 Suburb Impreza. I am so thankful for having the money-but mostly having the patience to find the car that is perfect for me. I know that most people, including myself have had a hard time in a bad economy and I have been blessed to be able to buy such a needed car.
