Honestly, I thought it was going to be hard to find 10, but I could have done 20 if I didn't want my post to be a mile long. So I went ahead and stuck with 10!
But let me preface this by saying that I am incredibly blessed, and I try my hardest to remember to be thankful for everything and not take any of it for granted.
one. I screw up a lot. But I'm extremely thankful that I serve a Savior whose grace is enough to save me. Biggest thing that I'm thankful for!
two. My family, friends & boyfriend support me in every single endeavor that I take on. And believe me, I take on a lot (I thank never being able to make up my mind). I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for all for them. So thank you Toy, Granddad, Dad, Mom, Adam, Joey, Britt, Hayden, Danielle, Kelsey & everyone else for pushing me and speaking encouragement and vision into my life!
three. So glad that this beautiful beach is only an hour and a half from where I live. Such a beautiful sight to see! The perfect place to get away and collect my thoughts or just sit and soak up the sunshine :)
four. I'm thankful that this little nugget keeps me company when I'm at home. And it doesn't hurt that she gives me a good laugh every now and then either.
five. I'm so glad to have a college degree. I know that it's pretty common these days for kids my age to have them, but I still consider it a blessing for sure. Education is priceless!
six. Sometimes I just don't feel like cooking and I want to eat out. I'm thankful that I have the means to be able to do that pretty freely without having to worry about my finances.
seven. In a world full of hate, I'm glad that I have love. Love of all kinds...love that I give & love that I receive. It's really what makes life worth living. Show someone new love today...I dare you!
eight. I'm thankful that I have a passion for working out and staying fit. Leading a healthy lifestyle is important to me, and I'm really glad that I can say that!
nine. I'm thankful that I have a car that has A/C. And that gets me from point A to point B safely. This is the first car that I bought on my own so it's my baby!
ten. Last but definitely not least...I'm thankful for all of YOU! You ladies are absolutely incredible and I am immensely grateful for your friendships and support :) I mean it!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great post, it's so good to take some time and reflect on what we're thankful for. I'm jealous of you living so close to the beach though!
ReplyDeleteI am infinitely grateful for YOU, my Mini Mint Mac. Really, I thought blogging was just going to be a hobby or another layer of social media, but to have met you through all of this has been amazing. You're stuck with me for life, and I am thrilled about that. I love you, J! I love this list of thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI've read your blog for quite some time now and finally decided to join the "Smell the Roses" posts! Love the idea! Although, I tweaked mine a little...you'll see! :)
