The Little Things
May 21, 2015

Happy Thursday! These weeks have gone by fast, and I’m officially in my “summer season” of work: Here’s what I’m thankful for right now:

I’m thankful for a really good year at my job. As I’ve mentioned in previous years, my primary job ends around the end of May and doesn’t really start again until August, so I have the summers “off” (from that particular job, not from some of the others). I’m so thankful that the year I’ve had at that job has been so fulfilling, that I’ve seen huge growth in my clients, that I’ve made solid connections with co-workers, and I’ve had so many other random, excellent opportunities that have popped up along the way. I’m so thankful for the year that I’ve had.

I’m thankful for the Hallmark Channel. Normally I don’t watch the Hallmark Channel much except for Christmas, but for some reason this weekend I got pretty sucked into it, and watched it while I was cleaning and doing random chores most of the day on Saturday. I’m thankful for a little thing to keep me entertained as I worked.

I’m thankful for my clothes rack. I air dry my clothes most of the time (I figure why waste money, energy, and wear and tear on clothes when I can do the same thing for free?), which I love, and my clothes rack (which I’ve had since 2008 or 2009) makes that so much easier. I love to put it out on my porch and let the sun dry my clothes if I can, but if not (like in the winter or on rainy days) I can put it in any convenient location to let me clothes dry. What a neat little invention.

I’m thankful for good books. As I was packing up my office (we’re moving to a different building next year) I pulled out a couple of good books that I wanted to make sure are with me this summer at my other job. Just looking at them makes me smile 🙂

I’m thankful for fluffy clouds. I don’t love completely cloudy days, but I love days of sunshine where there are picture perfect fluffy white clouds in a beautiful blue sky. Sometimes it’s easy to be so busy with life that I forget to enjoy these types of little things, so I’ve been making more of an effort to pause and stare up at the sky for a few moments as I walk to my car, into a store, or wherever I’m heading.

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

    I’m thankful for my new job… it’s with the same company I’ve been with, but it’s already a really great fit!

    I’m also thankful for the smell of coffee in the morning to wake me up!

    And finally… so excited and thankful to be going to see my family out east for a wedding this summer. I love family reunions!

      I LOVE the smell of fresh coffee in the morning! Sometimes I think that wakes me up more than the actual coffee. I’m glad you’re loving the new job!
