Counting Sheep

This post contains affiliate links.

I’m laying here trying to go to sleep but I can’t seem to find the off switch to my brain. I have tried reading a book, catching up on reading blogs, even laying in the dark counting sheep. Nothing is working! So I thought I would blog….

Went to my grandparents today for lunch and just to catch up. Sophie loves it there. They have a little dog that can’t stand to be in the same room as her. I think it’s funny.

We were talking about life and making plans for Thanksgiving (I can’t believe it’s next week!!!) and we were talking about all of the things we were thankful for. Of course all of the usual were mentioned…family, health, God….etc. But as I was laying here in the dark I started thinking about the things that haven’t necessarily gone my way that I am truly thankful for {enter twisted sense of humor here}…….

I’m thankful that I have been treated badly in past relationships because now (hopefully) when I meet a truly nice guy I will appreciate him.

I’m thankful that I didn’t have parents that paid my way through college and that I had to work 2 jobs sometimes because I can say that I did it on my own. And I’m proud of that fact!

I’m thankful that I finally got the guts to ask this guy I like out last week, even if the date was Awful. With a capital A. (I will save that story for later……)

I’m thankful that my tiny little five pound puppy takes up 3/4 of my bed, at least she likes to snuggle. :)

I’m thankful that I didn’t get that promotion at work because I got to move to day shift and I feel like a normal person now.

I’m thankful for Sunday Night Drinking Club….I love my new co-workers!

I’m thankful that thinking of weird things to be thankful for has made me sleepy.

Goodnight!
