The Little Things
December 4, 2014

Happy first Thursday of December. I really, truly can’t believe that we’ve started the final month of 2014… seriously- how?! As I’m typing this, I’m really craving a brownie with peppermint marshmallow on top (but I don’t have any brownie’s made, so I can’t really do anything about that craving). Here’s what I’m thankful for right now:

I’m thankful for beautiful white lights. Colder weather and the Christmas season mean that it’s finally appropriate for me to live with white lights on around me at all times. I’ve even hung white lights up in my office, so from the time I wake up until the time I go to bed, 80-90% of my life has little white lights. They’re so peaceful and calming, right?

I’m thankful for safety over Thanksgiving. While I know that anything could happen at any point while I’m on the road, every time I head out on a road trip, I’m extra aware of all the potentially dangerous situations around me. I’m so thankful that I had a safe trip over Thanksgiving, and every mile I spent on the road was good.

I’m thankful for time with my brother. I spent Thanksgiving visiting my brother (the soccer player brother), and I had a great time. He’s the one who has lived near me for the last 4 years, and I’ve only seen him for about 15 hours since May. Being together for a few days was SO much fun, and it was great to see him again.

I’m thankful I found podcasts. Seriously- I listen to podcasts most day of the week, and I really enjoy them. A few weekends ago I started listening to “serial”, and am obsessed. Are any of you listening to it right now?

I’m thankful for the chance to visit with a friend from high school. I have this friend who I used to ice skate with back in first and second grade, and we were good friends all through high school (she even tracked me on race day to cheer me on!!), and she had the chance to visit the past few days. We haven’t actually seen one another in about 8 years, so it was great to talk face to face! I live far away from where I grew up, so I haven’t gotten to share my town with many friends outside of the ones who live here of course!

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