Today I’m thankful for my favorite holiday! No gifts, no shopping, nothing but friends, family, food and gratitude! I’ve probably mentioned before that I write every morning in a journal, it centers me and no matter where I am I try to find 30 min’s or so of quite time to myself to begin my day this way. The first things I write in my Journal are a list of things I’ve got to be grateful for. Today I’ll share with you some of the top things I’m grateful for this past year.
- Moving to a new city that I love~Charleston, SC (The BEST place in the USA!)
- Making new friends and loyal long time friends
- The excitement of each new client
- My art Studio (After 6 years without one)
- Living closer to the Ocean
- Working for myself~creating my own schedule and having flexibility and independence
- The search for a new pet~a rescue dog this time! (and my parents new puppy:)
- Living on the Marsh
- Having the $$ saved to make this move possible
- Visiting Norway and seeing my brother get married
- Turning 40~now that it’s behind me I realize it’s not so bad!
- This presidential election is behind us and I’m optimistic about the future of our country:)
- Amazing and generous family; living so much closer to our grandparents!
I’ve got so much to be grateful for but my focus this year is on having amazing spectacular grand parents!
My husband and I are lucky enough to live within driving distance of all our remaining (3) grandparents and this week we are grateful that we have been able to spend time with all of them while enjoying some warm, sunny Florida weather! This is my second Thanksgiving in a row not cooking and although I LOVE to cook I’m embracing and enjoying this little break. We’ll be eating at a restaurant in So. FL featured on one of the Food Network’s shows and that will be fun!
What are you giving thanks for Today? Hope you have more to be Thankful for than ever!
