I try to write thank you notes for everything. I have a lot of reasons to be thankful because I am so, so blessed. But sometimes, like this very second, I feel in a bit of a slump. Therefore, this post is dedicated to things I am thankful for.
1. School: I’m so blessed to have a father who values education. I needed to come here. I really, really did.
2. Work: I have a great job with an amazing boss and fantastic coworkers. It’s the best job I’ve ever had!
3. Family: This should be first, but the giant lit “Y” on the mountain was in my head. It’s homecoming this week, you know. But family. My gosh, I have an amazing family! Large and diverse. I am you, and that makes me incredibly happy.
4. Snow: There is snow on the mountains from the storm last weekend. It’s melting from the sunshine, but boy, am I excited that autumn is here. It’s absolutely beautiful and makes the mile walk to campus worth it completely.
5. A Boy: I can’t tell you how much I adore a certain boy, and I’m so blessed that he adores me, too!
6. Voice: I had no voice and thus had to whisper from Friday night until Monday morning. It’s almost completely back now! Take that, stuffy nose!
I’m trying very hard not to mention that 1) I haven’t made it to yoga this week because of being sick, 2) my house is not my home, and 3) I had to say goodnight to the boy.
But really, I am very blessed. I’m going to roll out of bed in the morning, perhaps do some yoga to make up for the lazy week, and go to the mall and find something lovely [and inexpensive] to wear for a special date this weekend. Blessed? Very.
What are you thankful for?
