Week 3 - Gratitude Journey - City I Live In
Prompt: City I Live In
When I wrote this all out I was living in Seattle, WA. Now I am living in Modesto, CA. Two very different towns that I get to call home on the baseball journey. I have lived in a lot of places on this baseball journey. While some have been AMAZING, and others have horrible.
I was going to write about just Seattle and Modesto, but now I feel like I want to write out our baseball journey.
Modesto, CA: For a New Area
Seattle, WA: Experiences. You have to look out for yourself because no one else will. I learned this lesson HARD twice in Washington.
Des Moines, IA: Self Improvement. I had a great boss who really helped me a lot. You play chess while everyone else is playing checkers he would often tell me.
Charleston, WV: This is probably the hardest place ever to be grateful. So many horrible things happened here. A lot of it I held in for a long time to make his job easier. I really hate using the word hate but that is fair word for how I feel. But that's not the point of this. In Charleston, I am grateful for the people. They taught me how I never want to be or treat others. While I am sure there are some great people in WV I met only 10 of them.
Phoenix, AZ: Contentment. During this time I was super unhappy with myself. It wasn't until almost the end where I was truly happy for our situation and could really focus on lifting other people as well. It's not all competition.
Oklahoma City, Ok: Friends. Seriously the girls that I met during this time I love them. While we have all gone separate ways and don't talk as often as we should. I love these ladies. They taught me so much!
Where do you live and Why are you grateful?
