The Little Things
June 4, 2015

Happy first Thursday in June! June means that it’s officially the summer season, and I can’t believe that we’ve finally made it back again 🙂 While it’s been a bit sad to be back from vacation, this week was full of all sorts of good things too. Here’s what I’m thankful for at the moment:

I’m thankful for a fun “goodbye” day with my Mexico co-leader. Over the last 9 months, I’ve gotten pretty close to my co-leader for the Mexico trip, and we became friends as we were planning and preparing. We spent about six hours together last Friday as we went out to lunch, went on a walk, and then sat at Chick-fil-A for a few hours talking over sweet tea. She’s moving next week and while I’m sad to have a friend move away, I’m thankful for the chance to have built our friendship this last year, and I’m thankful she was by my side for so many crazy situations and fun while in Cancun.

I’m thankful for the dolphin show I got to witness. I’m still so in awe of the little dolphin show I got to experience while in Florida and am thankful that I just happened to be at the right place at the right time to witness it. Those little moments bring a smile to my face every time I think about it.

I’m thankful for my Kindle. I love being able to fall asleep while reading without having a light on, and I especially love being able to have multiple books at my fingertips on a screen that I can easily see outside. Kindles are such nifty inventions, and I use it a lot more than I thought that I would.

I’m thankful for fresh squeezed orange juice. My cousin and I had freshly made orange juice every morning while looking out at the palm trees and the water, and it was absolutely amazing. I wish I could have it every morning, but I’m thankful for those little moments of enjoyment each morning.

I’m thankful for moments of laughter with friends. There were so many wonderful moments this past week with friends of laughter and good conversation. I deeply value each of these moments in my life, and feel thankful for those in my life.

Now it’s your turn to share! What are you feeling thankful for today?

    That dolphin show looks like it was AMAZING! Wow, what a cool experience! Also, I love fresh squeezed juices too- so delicious and satisfying.

    Today I’m grateful for the fact that I found the perfect wedding dress… and had no idea it was going to be such an incredible deal! It’s beautiful but was very reasonably priced, and that took a lot of stress of the situation.
