The Little Things
June 11, 2015

Happiest Thursday to you šŸ˜€ This has been a weird and somewhat difficult week in one little area of my life, but I work hard to try to see each area and not disqualify the positives, which is why lists like this are really good for me. So- here’s what I’m thankful for this week:

I’m thankful for the calm I find outside in nature. I spent a LOT of time outside this past week between eating meals, biking, walking, running, and reading, and I’m so thankful for the calm I find out there. Whether it’s the sun shining, birds chirping, green grass, beautiful flowers, or fluffy white clouds, I appreciate it and am thankful for it.

I’m thankful for good books! I am so thankful for the presence of books and that I had the opportunity to have a written language and learn to read. It’s so easy to take that process for granted, but I am well aware that there are so many people who don’t have the option of one or more of those things. I’m thankful for the education, fun, and escape that books provide.

I’m thankful for the love and support I get from so many people who are dear to me.Ā I’ve spent time almost every day the past few weeks with one friend or another, and so value the sweet time I have with them. I know I don’t put most of my friends on the blog (unless they have one too, I don’t put people on here), but that doesn’t mean they aren’t incredibly important to me.

I’m thankful for my ā€œit is wellā€ tattoo.Ā I’m thankful for the constant reminder it is to me, and I’m thankful it’s constant on me. I stare at it a lot during hard moments, and love having it as something to ground me.

I’m thankful for donut bites! This weekend I went to Dave & Busters with a group of people (it was my first time there!) and I got donut bites for dessert. They came with raspberry and chocolate dipping sauces and they were delicious!

Now it’s your turn to share! What are you feeling thankful for today? What’s one thing that is grounding or peaceful to you?
