Thankful Thursday

Of the many blessings I have; I am thankful for:

  • Looking out the big picture windows in my living room and seeing horses grazing in the field behind us.
  • Having fresh water to drink on a daily basis
  • Our rainy week providing lots of puddles for splashing in
  • Ice cream cones
  • Freedom. My Dad, living in China who can't even view my blog because of internet restrictions, reminds me of how lucky I am to be living in America.
  • Tucking myself into freshly laundered amazing smelling sheets at night.
  • A positive outlook
  • Having people in my life, that inspire me to be a better person
  • An unexpected friendship that has blossomed into an amazing relationship
  • Starting a new chapter in my life... in 15 days


"Count your blessings,  is simple to the point of stupid—and powerful to the point of life-altering. Gratitude, that very specific feeling of thankfulness in your heart, allows you to see and absorb all you have, forgetting for a moment all you may lack. It connects your brain with your heart, and gives you the ground to be more giving, effective, loving human. Being grateful allows generosity to flow. And many believe it also makes us more receptive—as in, the more you love what you have, the more you get what you want."  -Valerie Riess
