Sometimes it truly is the little things in life that remind me how much I have to be grateful for in the grand scheme of things. I figure there is no better time than now to share a few bits and pieces of my life that I’ve been especially thankful for as of late.
A friend reaching out to tell me that she thought my post was great and sounded just like me
Good music like this song by Barcelona
An unexpected email with the positive words of encouragement from a special gal in Chicago
The opportunity to ask all of my burning questions to a few people who inspire me to chase something new
The promise of a fresh start (in more ways than one)
Long weekends with no set plans after the holiday with family and friends
Pete and his willingness to do anything for me (including pulling my socks off my tired feet before crawling into bed at night)
The supportive gals at Tulip who picked me to help celebrate their 1,000 likes milestone on Facebook
I know that some people say it’s cliche to express thanks at this time of year, but isn’t that what Thanksgiving is for? We live in such a busy world and if someone (like me) needs a little reminder, so be it. The important part is that I’m focused on it now and I can work on expressing thanks all year round.
What are you thankful for? Whether it be big or small, I would love to hear it!
