What I’m Thankful for this Thanksgiving (2013)

Seeing everyone’s messages on social media about thankfulness this month is so inspiring! I wish we woke up grateful EVERYDAY instead of focusing on it just once per year.
I have so much to be grateful for this year (and every year)! My list starts here, but I’m sure I will leave out many of the blessings that I overlook everyday in my fast paced, busy, chaotic, overwhelmingly awesome life…but here it goes:
I am most thankful for (although not necessarily in this order):
- My amazing family. They can make me laugh, cry, smile, growl, blush, feel overwhelmingly loved and full of both pride and gratefulness everyday (although not always in that order).
- My equally amazing friends. They generally can induce the same feelings as my family can – but without their ability to listen and their advice I wouldn’t be able to brag (or complain) about my family nearly as much as I do! They also choose to accept me for who I am and love me for it anyway (my family is stuck with my imperfections)!
- Health – my own and the health of babies and other family members/friends. I am so blessed.
- Food on the table and a roof over my head.
- A job that I absolutely love.
- Good books.
- Great advice.
- Design (and in my case, So Good Design Co.).
- Connections.
- Haribo Gummy Bears.
- Fabric.
- Linkin (the family dog).
- Surrounding myself with good, smart people who are willing to help out at any time! In other words, my TEAM!
- Photography.
- Education.
- Clients – Amazing clients!!! (You know who you are!)
- Magic and belief.
- Support.
- Disney.
- A comfy couch and yoga pants.
- Coffee – all kinds.
- Kindness.
- Online shopping.
- Color.
- Fun games to play with those mentioned above.
- The fact that my husband likes to cook (because I don’t).
- Fresh snow.
- Warm breezes.
- Peace.
- Did I mention books? I love books.
- Good conversation.
- Vacations.
- Belly laughs.
- Finally, love. I love….LOVE.
Well – there it is. And it felt great – you should try it, what are you most grateful for?
Thank you for all of the love and support I have received from all of my amazing family and friends – I certainly wouldn’t be where I am today without all of you.
I wish everyone a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday! Enjoy your day – no matter how it is spent.
