[thankful]

I know I’ve been doing a lot of complaining lately, so I wanted to write this and just take a step back to look at the positives. This year I am thankful for…

My husband, who is incredibly supportive of me. He is where I turn for strength and comfort. Our anniversary is in a few months – we will be together for 10 years (married for 8 years)! Can you believe that?

My job. Although it is crazy and stressful, I am thankful to have it. So many don’t have work right now, and I know I am blessed to have a job that appreciates the work I do and pays me relatively well.

School. Again, I complain a lot about this, but I am thankful to have been accepted into this limited-admission program that will allow me to get an even better job down the line. And I’m also thankful that the semester ends in two weeks!

Our house, which is small but cozy and welcoming. I love coming home to my sense of peace and order; my safe place.

Our animals, who give me snuggles and love daily. Our rambunctious dogs, who always have a tail wag. Our kitty, who is less enthusiastic about her affection (but still gives it). And our less-than-snuggly fish.

Speaking of less than snuggly… we have a new addition to our crew! Details to come soon 🙂
