day 11 + day 12 = 10 more things to be thankful for.

I guess I am getting into the groove of writing two days in one. My brain feels like it is already Friday and yet, the calendar is telling me different! My to do list is also telling me that I have a hundred things to do, calls to make and meetings to get to.

I will admit, it has been tough this week to try and remain grateful. Being frustrated, stressed and irritated is so much easier than trying to remain positive and show gratitude.

10. Cheerful baristas at Starbucks that make me laugh.

9. Days where I HAVE to get up early...and I don't have to rush.

8. Inspiration. From people, from videos........ from everything.

7. Compliments. Everyone is grateful for these. But the type of compliment that promises nothing in return...but a genuine compliment.

6. I am thankful when days that you think are going to be jammed packed busy....free up!!

5. Olive Garden salad. I know...sounds ridiculous, but for some reason it just tasted so good tonight!

4. People who laugh at themselves and their own jokes.

3. Cameras. I am no photographer. But I love taking pictures. Things look different from behind a camera.

2. New shoes. I know...I am such a typical girl. I have way too many shoes, but I can't turn down a good deal on cute shoes.

1. New beginnings. Closing on chapter and opening another. Taking another step in a journey....whether it be good or bad

Below is a video that one of my friends posted on facebook. It gave me goosebumps.
