30 Days of Gratitude: Part 4

I have not been very consistent with my gratitude posts, but I will bust out 30 like I said. And it does not imply that I lack things to be thankful for in my life because I have plently blessings... Friends being one of the greatest, so today, I am thankful for: My friends!

What would a girl do without her friends? She would have nobody to call and ask about the simple things like what to wear out that night, or what reply to send after the cute guy she met texts her the next day. Who would she have to tell about her life's drama to, or all the exciting things happening in her life. More imporantly, the shoulder to cry on and endless patience for the long nights of chatting about a broken heart. My best friend means the world to me and my life without her would be a life I have no desire to be a part of. She has picked me up every single time I have been down. She is always with my struggling through my stuggles and sharing with me in my joy. She always has the right words to say and never judges me for the mistakes I make. She truly is my better half and I am so thankful and blessed to be able to call her my best friend. I look up to her and respect her more than she will ever know, I just hope I am as good of a friend to her as she is to me.

30 Days of Gratitude: Part 3

Today I am thankful for: Jackson, my precious year old nephew. He makes me smile EVERY SINGLE DAY! I look forward to his cuddles, his kisses and laughing with him. I love watching this tiny person walk up to me when I come in the room and then when he stretches his arms out to pick him up, my whole heart just sings! Watching him grow up has been a complete joy, seeing his personality form is something I am so grateful to witness. I cannot wait until he can call me Aunty, it happens to be one of my favorite words!

30 days of Gratitude: Day 2

Today I am thankful for: WATER! It is the small things you take for granted, for all of North America, water is an easy accessible resource. As simple as turning on our taps. Forget walking miles and miles under the hot sun, or carrying this water in your hands, or on a bicycle. We walk to our kitchens and bathrooms and don't even think twice about how blessed we are to have running water in our homes. Having a shower, washing dishes and many other daily activities would not be so simple without the luxury that running water truly is. So yes, today I am very much thankful for water.

30 Days of Gratitude: Part 1

There is this blog that I love. I read it every morning and become rather bummed when there is no new post. It’s called hopes and dreams. She talks about everything from her family, her Mormon beliefs and how much she loves her baby (very cute baby I might add). She has started doing 30 days of gratitude post every day, so I decided it would be nice to do the same. So here it goes...

Today I am thankful for: My job. I know people say they love going to work and they love what they do. I agree that that statement can be true. But not every day is a perfect work day, and I have realized that a lot lately. I drag my butt to work, sometimes wishing I didn’t have to come back here again. BUT, then I remember that there are people in my very own city, in my family for that matter that are struggling to find a job. People who would be so grateful to have a reason to get up in the morning, to have that security in knowing a pay check is coming at the end of the month. My company is great and they do so much for their employees. So I have my grumpy days, but even on those days, I can see that God has blessed me with a great job and I couldn’t be more thankful.
