1) I'm beyond thankful for the amazing community of neighbors in our little corner of the world. Over the past year, they have become some of our best friends and for that I am so glad. We went on an amazing camping trip to the Harbor Islands, where the photo above was snapped.
2) For these two fur balls. Even though they are terribly behaved 95% of the time, they are always up for a snuggle when you're feeling down. They add a dash of funny/absurd to our lives, and for that I am thankful. Except when they sneak into our room at night and try to sleep on our faces. I am not thankful for that.
3) The amazing abundance that we are blessed with. We live in a comfy and happy home. We eat well every day. We are warm and safe and that alone is a blessing some people will never know. We are able to give to charities, we have friends who are wonderful and families who we love endlessly. I am so, so thankful for the blessing of abundance in our lives.
4) I am thankful for all of the fun that I have in my life. This photo was taken when we went to Disney last October with Mike's family- so fun and a really unexpected and generous gift. The every day fun is what I'm really thankful for, though. A quick game of Yahtzee after dinner. Drinks on our porch with neighbors. Hanging out with the kids in our life at the playground. Fun and happiness go hand in hand, I think, and I'm thankful for that.
5) Lastly, I'm thankful for my partner in life. My sweet husband who is the most supportive, handsome and sweet person I've ever known. I count my lucky stars that he wandered into my Starbucks one fateful day. I'm grateful that he indulges my need to do 4 projects at once and then helps me clean up the mess. I'm a lucky gal.
Okay, okay. Enough about us: what are YOU thankful this year??
We have so many things to be thankful for - but this blog reminds me how lucky we are to have such thoughtful, fun, caring neighbors - just a few feet away from us. We can't wait to spend this winter having potlucks and playing games with you guys!
ReplyDeleteYou're the sweetest! We are thankful for you guys, too! I think this winter shall go down as one of the best, mainly because we'll have an extra, tiny, gorgeous member of the JP crew :)
