The Little Things
July 10, 2014

Happy first Thankful Thursday of July! I didn’t post last Thursday because I was working on transferring the site, so I didn’t want to put up new content on my old site. It’s been a little rough coming off of a long, fun weekend, especially because the weather the first few days after the 4th was gray and rainy. Those types of days always make me want to sit on the couch and watch TV or read. I guess it’s a good thing that I have so much blog work to do now! Here are a few things that I’m thankful for this week:

I’m thankful for MelissaNot only did she redesign her blog this weekend, but she sat next to me for hours as I struggled to get my blog from wordpresss to self-hosted. I truly couldn’t have done it at all without her.

I’m thankful for a fun 4th of July weekend. I REALLY needed to have a fun, enjoyable, and relaxing weekend, and I’m so thankful that I got it. I spent the weekend with a few different friends, and enjoyed delicious meals, time at the pool, fireworks, racing, shopping, watching TV, and just having a great time. It was good for my heart!

July 4th Celebration

I’m thankful for my new blog being set up! Like I said, I’ve been brainstorming what I wanted in a new site since January of 2013, so the fact that I’ve settled on something is really relieving. It’ll take me awhile to update all the links in each of the posts, but I’m happy that the big stuff is done!

I’m thankful for a special project I’m working on at work. I feel very lucky to have been picked to work on a big project with another department at work, especially because it’s on a subject that I’m very passionate about! I love these extra side things I get to do that keep my passion alive and well at work! I think especially for counselors, these sorts of things help to prevent burnout (and burnout rates are high in the field).

I’m thankful I get to see a friend who moved away this weekend. My friend who moved a few weeks ago is coming back to town to wrap a few things up, and she’s staying with me for the weekend! I can’t wait to see her again!

Now it’s your turn to share! What little things (or big things!) are you feeling thankful for today?

      That sounds wonderful! Great weekends are so life-giving, aren’t they?

  2. I’m thankful for time with my son today! We had an easy morning together before I had to go to work. 🙂 your blog looks great! I can’t wait to be self hosted one day. Thinking that’ll come after I become a personal trainer.
