Phew. It’s week two of Thankful Thursday and this post is much needed, I think. Tuesday’s election rocked the country and a lot of us are left reeling, trying to wrap our minds around how this is possible. However, Thankful Thursday is about cherishing and reflecting on the good and making sure we don’t lose sight of that. So take a second today to think about what you’re grateful for. I love you all and thank you for reading!
I want to preface this by saying that I’m not ranking these things in order of importance. I also know that I have a LOT to be thankful for and I can’t possibly list everything in just 4 blog posts. I have a great life; I am truly blessed and I know it. Now, let’s get started with this week’s Thankful Thursday!
1. Freedom of speech
2. Family gatherings
3. Blankets fresh out of the dryer
4. The right to vote
5. Comedy that makes you laugh so hard you cry
6. Freshly painted nails (and no smudges)
7. Food, water, electricity
8. Target
9. Feeling safe in my community
10. Being able to help others
11. Financial stability
12. The blogging community
13. Afternoons with my grandmother
14. Babies
15. Puppy kisses
16. Sincere words of encouragement
17. Sunny afternoons
18. Those days where you drive down back roads blasting music with the windows down
19. Starry nights
20. Sprinkled doughnuts
Love this post! It’s always nice to be grateful of all the blessings that you have, even the littlest ones.

Love all the positivity
We need more posts like this! Love blankets fresh out of the dryer too. And sprinkled doughnuts of course 🙂
I love this time of year for the holidays and family gatherings! Love being around my family!
I definitely indulged in some post-election donuts, and the trip to the store was a windows-down music blasting kind of drive. The little things really do make such a big difference!
So, so much love for this post and your previous post like this. Every day, especially since Tuesday, I am trying extra, extra hard to focus on all of the good things in my lief and how I can help others create good in their lives or find good in their lives. Much love to you, girlie!
These are some wonderful things to be thankful for, I love Thankful Thursdays!

Ah, I love this! Today I am thankful for a warm, dry, comfortable home; the good health of my family; the companionship of my dog; and Internet that works! Most importantly, I am thankful I feel safe in my community, and I am glad you do, too.

I always do some sort of gratitude post around Thanksgiving, but this year, with so much on my plate I’ve completely forgotten! Thank you for the reminder – and for leading by example. XO
Such a great post – and so timely with the election last week and Thanksgiving around the corner.
