Today I am thankful for. . .
... my blog and all the beautiful friendships I've formed in this Internet space ...
... friends who push me outside my comfort zone to be better and to try something new ...
... warm cups of hot cocoa with EXTRA WHIPPED cream...
... BODYPUMP. It has made me strong and fit and I can't wait to teach and share the power with others ...
... my body and my health. I constantly ask my body to perform under tough circumstances and for the most part it doesn't let me down. I know many people do not have the gift of good health and I am honestly thankful every day that I can continue to be an athlete and push my body to the limits...
... free airline drink tickets. I hate flying and a glass of wine helps keep me calm...
... sunny bright days with white puffy clouds in the sky. The weather this week has been beyond gorgeous and I am thankful for a few extra 70 degree days under my belt. I'll be sad when the cold comes, so for now I'm rejoicing in the sweet warmth Mother Nature granted us....
... a new baby announcement from my bestest L and a new birth with my friend Lo. #yaybabies
... makeup that helps hide my tired eyes and makeup that is fun and helps me feel pretty when I need a boost...
...soft, fleece blankets. I love cuddling up on the couch in my pink blankie after dinner, it's the best...
… BLATES! #icantwaitformyblate...
... kickball. Oh kickball, you've brought a lot of fabulousness into my life and I'm eternally grateful you brought me my husband. Seriously, we met on a social kickball team. I've traveled to more states for kickball than I did my entire college soccer career and we've created so many memories together and with friends. It's been amazing have my sisters join our team and the family vacays have only gotten better each tournament. Thank you, big red ball, for bringing so much joy, fun, laughter and happiness into my life...

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for joining us! I love how this month makes us focus on those things we sometimes overlook! Have a blessed day and hope you enjoy some snuggles in your pink blanket while sipping on some hot cocoa real soon! ;) That sounds heavenly!
ReplyDeleteLove this list! Today is going to be one of those days I am thankful for makeup...it may be a double eyeliner kind of day. Thanks so much for joining us!
ReplyDeleteI have a love/hate relationship with Bodypump! I love how I feel after, but have the hardest time getting there. I also don't know what I would do without makeup!
ReplyDeleteI'm hosting a Thankful Thursday link up today. I'd love if you'd link up!

I love the idea of writing down something to be thankful for everyday. I too, sometimes let little things get me down when there is truly so much to be thankful for! Thanks for sharing!

Also, I have been absolutely craving hot chocolate lately. I think this just means I'm ready to sit on the couch and watch Christmas movies.
Love this! I'm making it a point to really take a step back and be more grateful this month. We have so much to be thankful for, both the big and little things!
ReplyDeleteI love snuggling up with a blanket during the winter, especially one that's super soft. And when you add hot cocoa, I think that's the perfect night! We seriously all have so much to be thankful for this year!
ReplyDeleteSo many things to be grateful for! Super excited for our blate tomorrow and yes to hot chocolate with ALL the whipped cream! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes

Love this, yes to makeup and airline drink tickets! And especially to good health - every time I'm hating a work out I remind myself how fortunate I am to be healthy enough to exercise in the first place.
ReplyDeletei'm into all cozy things at the moment--just that time to relax and do some self-care.
ReplyDeleteI'm so thankful for my blog as well! I feel like lately I have been able to "meet" so many more bloggers! It's been so fun! Have a wonderful Thursday!

Concealer is seriously my bff, my tired eyes just look drab in the winter! I wish I had more blates, but can't wait to hear more about yours!!
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for... You! And well tons of stuff lately, my sweet baby E, my husband, my job, our home, my puppies, this breakfast sandwich I am chowing down on.... ya get the drift. Life is good!
ReplyDeleteLove this. Definitely what I needed to see today! There is so much to be thankful for but unfortunately at times I can get bogged down by what is wrong, not what is good in life. Thanks for the reminder today friend!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I love giving thanks every day for big and small.. sometimes it's easy to forget the small but those are some of the best!
ReplyDeleteIts such a good idea to start writing down things you are grateful for, I definitely want to start doing this too! There are so many things to be grateful for and this time of year is the perfect time to recognize it!
ReplyDeleteI've been doing a Thankful Thursday link up all year long - you should add yours to mine :)
ReplyDeleteYes to hot cocoa and whip cream!! It's really important to find the good in everyday, even on the bad ones. Those are the most important.
ReplyDeleteliz @ sundays with sophie
I'm all about the warm drinks and fleece blankets lately!
ReplyDeleteI really love this post, so many great things to be thankful for. :)
ReplyDeleteI always love all the warm fuzzies and positivity over here! Yay for free plane tickets, kickball, and extra whipped cream <3

What I good idea, it's always a good reminder to remember how good most of us have it. Free airline drink tickets are best and nothing beats hot cocoa with extra whip cream and marshmallows for me.
ReplyDeleteLove posts like these! There are so many things to be thankful for in our everyday lives! :) Makeup has definitely been on my list, too! lol
ReplyDeleteSuch a great list and a great reminder to be thankful! I always am so grateful for my health and the ability to do things like kickball too! I subbed in a friends league game last week and it made me think of you! Also I'm very jealous you got a few extra days in the 70s, I'm needing those fuzzy blankets and hot cocoa here now that we've dipped down in to the 40s for highs. Ick!
ReplyDeleteSo much to be thankful for. I love lists like this because it makes you appreciate everything! Did I miss it, who are you meeting? Blates are the best!
ReplyDeleteYay to all of this! Particularly warm beverages and free airline drinks! :)
ReplyDeleteI am so stopping at the store after work to get some whipped cream to go in my hot chocolate. It's going to be rainy all night & that seems like the perfect way to spend the night. Now if only it was a Friday...or a Saturday ha.
ReplyDeleteIm with ya on free airline drinks! You would think with all the traveling I do, I would be accustomed to is but NO still a scaredy cat for any hint of turbulence. Anyways having a drink helps for sure! lol
ReplyDeleteThis month is the best! I love taking a step back to be grateful for not just the big things in life but the small things. I love the idea of writing down something every night :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great post idea! I definitely am going to steal it from you! I love the hot chocolate with whipped cream...yum! A mix of fun and really special things is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteJust started following you, and I love this idea. I've always really liked the saying, "Stop focusing on how stressed you are, and remember how blessed you are." It's easy to get caught up in the moment sometimes and have a pity party, but I think when you shift your focus towards the positive aspects in your life, everything else doesn't seem so bad.
ReplyDeleteJoined the link up too. Of course, you will be reading my Thankful Friday posts again and again. Can never not be to grateful. Loved every one of yours on the list.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding me to be thankful. <3 So essential, and yet so easy to forget!
ReplyDeleteI missed it - who are you meeting this weekend?
ReplyDeleteGratitude is the attitude. I love it!
What a fun idea-especially for this month! Love having the opportunity to reflect on all the things we are grateful for even though sometimes they may get overlooked! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSo much yes with the hot cocoa and EXTRA whipped cream! And now I'm craving that something fierce, haha. I love this idea of posting up things we're grateful for, so I might have to jump in next time :) x
ReplyDeleteAmen to makeup that hides my tired eyes and for a wonderful blog community :)
ReplyDeleteI love these posts!! They have been all over blog world today and I just love it so much :) I also LOVE extra whip cream in my hot coco haha and FLEECE blankets are my favorite. My philosophy is you can NEVER have too many extra blankets :) haha Target has such cute ones, just sayin.

thanks for the reminder to always be thankful!! it's so easy to get caught up in what's going wrong
ReplyDeleteAn attitude of gratefulness makes for the absolute happiest of people! I am trying to be more grateful myself, and to teach both Caleb and Vivian to be thankful. So, so important!
