Believe it - it's true.
It is very easy for me to look at my life and point out the things I want/don't have/reallyreallywant,canI?pleasepleaseplease!
But I actually have ALOT of awesomeness in my life and mucho to be thankful for. I don't think I take time to reflect/brood over/dwell on the many staggering, mind-boggling things I do have.
On to the list... [I've told you how much I like making lists, right?... No? Oh, well I have this thing with lists and how I just have to make them. allthetime. about everything.]
Things I have that I am going to start taking the time to appreciate:
~an apartment that I really like (minus the gigantic spider from this morning)- NO! no complaining
~a job that can be extremely stressful [always], but pays the bills, keeps me challenged [always], and can be rewarding [occasionally]
but what I re-heally want to focus on here are the incredible
~PEOPLE that I have in my life. It is staggering, really, all of the wonderful friends and family that I am so blessed to have, and live near, and laugh with...
~and my charming husband [who, I am ashamed to admit, I criticize more than I celebrate] - Working on that.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself - this picture makes me smile every time I look at it. It's from our trip to Chicago last weekend-yet another thing to be thankful for! We had a blast, but I will have to tell you about that another time.
Well, that was actually a pretty short list [and in no way is it a complete list of all of the things I have to be thankful for, just the one's that I was reminded of today].
It's back to work tomorrow [think happy thoughts]. My goal for the next 8 weeks is to be more positive (in general-but when it comes to work is where I struggle with this the most.) Stop waiting for Friday. Celebrate now.
What are you thankful for today?
