The Little Things
August 14, 2014

Last week I didn’t do a thankful thursday post since I wrote about celebrating my birthday, but I did post some gratitudes in there, so I guess it sort of counts? Here are some things I’ve been thankful for over the last 2 weeks:

I’m thankful for an awesome birthday. This is one of the birthdays where I felt the most loved, and it was awesome. Since I posted the “celebrating my birthday” post, I ended up having another little surprise dinner with some friends.

I’m thankful for my group of grad school friends. I definitely couldn’t have made it through school the same way without these girls. They saw some of my very first counseling sessions, I was there through various crises with them, and we learned how to be counselors together. I had dinner with 3 of them to celebrate my birthday, and it was the first time in 4 years that all 4 of us have been together in the same place. My heart felt happy.

I’m thankful for shark week. I love things to look forward to, and this is one of them. This is my 8th shark week, and I think I get more and more excited for it every year. I’ve watched some crazy shows, and I still can’t believe that people willingly jump into a whole group of sharks. No thank you. (I had a cousin who was bit by a shark once. I’m not a fan of them, but I enjoy watching them on TV once a year.)

I’m thankful for sunshine. We’ve had some nice weather lately, and I’ve been loving it. I love being outdoors in it, and I had a great time at the pool most days this past weekend.

I’m thankful for good books. Like I said earlier this week, books have the ability to give so many things to each of us. I love being able to escape into another world for a bit or experience some adventure I’d never otherwise go on in life. I also love inspiration. I just read the 4:09:48 (the book about the Boston marathon bombing) a few days ago, and it was pretty interesting.

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

    Thankful for you, my love! And for other great friends, the beautiful fall-like weather, oh and for my planner, because my life is way too crazy to remember everything.

    I love Shark Week! I am thankful that there are crazy people out there willing to risk their lives to educate and entertain the world!
