Usually I do this November-activity on Facebook, but I figured doing it here would motivate me to blog! (At least there will be a weekly post… haha.)

I try to be thankful every day but by recognizing that which makes me blessed I have a better appreciation for my life and the people I share it with! Ready? Ok!

Nov 1: I am so thankful for friends that appease me and dress up for my silly themed parties!

Nov 2: I am thankful for the health and wellness of my family. I hope that my children will get the opportunity to meet their great-grandparents and spend ample time with my and K’s parents.

Nov 3: After a crazy weekend sometimes it’s nice to go back to work and unwind. I’m thankful for my secure job and the promising future it holds.

Nov 4: It sounds nuts, but I’m thankful for seasonal work! Today I was hired for a part-time job and it’s so nice to know that we don’t have to use the “real” budget to purchase Christmas gifts!

Nov 5: I’m thankful for in-laws that spoil me rotten. Today I snacked on fruit salad sent over by my mother-in-law and tomorrow I’m getting a massage with a gift card from my wonderful in-laws. Also, my father-in-law is constantly helping K with his business. I struck the jackpot when I married K!

Nov 6: Today is my grandfather’s birthday! I am so blessed to have both sets of grandparents still healthy, living, and only a few miles away. (K’s paternal grandparents and his maternal grandma are also in town!)

Nov 7: Can I be thankful for Fridays? Of course I can! (But I’m actually thankful for everyday- nothing’s ever guaranteed!)
