Today I am Thankful

This post contains affiliate links.


thankful

I am so incredibly thankful this year. I am thankful for my family. They are all safe, healthy, we didn’t suffer any huge losses this year, all of my nieces and nephews are growing like weeds, and I get to see them all in a few weeks at Christmas.

I am thankful for my Sophie puppy. I am thankful that every night when I come home from work or school she is always excited to see me. She is my little heater when we go to bed at night and she loves her belly scratched right before bed time. She is silly and playful and I love her so much!

I am thankful for my friends. We have supported each other through birthdays, moves, trips, new jobs, and so much more. I love you all and I am so glad Libby and I got to go on the trip of a lifetime and that I get to see Jenn and Rebekah next month in Vegas!

I am thankful for my jobs. I work at two amazing hospitals in the central Arkansas area and I love both of them equally. I work with some amazing people, get to see some amazing things every day, and I feel like I learn something everyday.

I am thankful for school. I am thankful for the opportunity to go back and learn something I am really interested in. I am thankful for the friendships I have made along the way and the opportunities I have had. I am thankful that I will be finished next May and won’t have to worry about Accounting II anymore.

I am thankful for the roof over my head and the car I drive. I am thankful that I am able to own my own home as a single lady and that I am able to afford a reliable car to drive to school, work, and wherever I need to go.

I am thankful for this blog and the opportunities it has afforded me. I am thankful for all of the amazing people I have met through blogging and the opportunities I have had to go places, review products, and get paid to do what I love!

I am thankful for memories. I am thankful that I get to see the people I have loved and lost through pictures, memories, and dreams. I miss my Mom so much but these things help.

I am thankful for life. I am thankful that I am able to be thankful because I am here and I am alive and I am ready to take on this beautiful thing called life. No matter how many ups and downs there are I am still thankful to be here.

I am thankful for the future. I am thankful for a future filled with so many opportunities that I am not even aware of. I am just along for the ride and I hope it’s a good one.

Happy Thanksgiving.

    I love that we have a holiday that is specifically for giving thanks. We take so many things for granted, when really we need to foster an attitude of gratitude. Your’s is a great list, and it’s inspired me to make my own!

    I am thankful for my family, my friends, my job. I am thankful for the roof over our heads, food on the table, and savings in the bank. The best thing I am thankful for is the blessing that I am able to wake up everyday to a new morning. I thank God for His providence!

    Nice post! My father passed away last month and I am trying to still be thankful. We had 12 extra years with him after his second bout with cancer. Thankful for those years.
