be grateful

It's quite strange to me that I haven't posted any grateful for posts or even mentioned Thanksgiving because it was fantastic, but then I think about busy life and work these days and I remember why I haven't. However, here it because I can't afford to not express some serious gratitude these days.

I'm grateful for life, for my life, although sometimes crazy I'm so lucky to have it. I've had an experience lately which has reminded me how much I take it for granted and how it can be lost without notice. I'm grateful for where my life has lead me, and the many adventures I've been on.

I'm grateful for the amazing people that I get to share my life with like my amazing family! Seriously I'm so lucky to have the family I have and for the fact that they are always there for me. Not to mention the fact that I have the cutest niece and nephew ever!! They never fail to make my day and I can't wait to meet the third little one in March : )

I'm grateful for Russ. As I think back to months and months ago I never would have thought I'd be so lucky to have someone like him, and now I don't know what I'd do without him! I'm grateful for someone who loves me for me, makes me laugh, and keeps me loving life and looking for the positive. Let's just say he balances out this worry wart quite well : )

As I was driving through Walmart parking lot last night I saw a girl walking with a slight limp, handful of groceries, and only a hooded zip up sweater. She wasn't walking to a car, just kept walking home I imagine. I was reminded of even more things I'm grateful for, such as my carhartt, my truck, etc.. but I'm also grateful to have a good job in a time where they are so hard to come by and that I'm able to provide for myself.

There are many other things I could keep going on and on... but I'll end on the note that I'm truly grateful for how blessed I am. I had a great Thanksgiving weekend celebrating the holiday and now that it's back to work I'm focusing on the little things in life to be grateful for that make each day great!!
