Thankful Thursday

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

    I like that you’re taking the time to actually write down what you’re thankful for. This is really something that everyone should do more often.

    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!

    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
