There's possibility...

The number one thing I am thankful for is possibility.  Everything is possible if you want it and go for it.  There is nothing else that excites me more than that.

New things? Why not!

I'm thankful for the freedom I have in my life to try things.  The beauty of life is that you don't get one path to take.  There are many many many paths and I get to choose where I want to go and how I want to do it.  I am so lucky to be able to try things.  Whether or not it works out, I got to try.  THAT is what life is about.  No one has it figured out completely and if you don't have the guts to try you're trapped.  Thank God that's not me.

Be thankful for falling down

I am thankful for all the times in my life that I've failed and had to try again.  Every time we fail it is a chance to change our lives.  We have to learn and grow but we can't do that if we don't figure out what works for us.  I've never truly crashed and burned before, at least not badly enough that I couldn't get back up.  But that's the important thing; I got back up.  Sometimes on my own and I dusted myself off.  Sometimes I needed a little more support and help.  But every time, I've found a way to get back on my feet and keep going.  That's an incredible thing.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!  

I hope everyone has a warm place to spend it with good food and better company.

I've been drawn into the family fold again and headed home to the parentals' house.  This was also Jake's first time meeting my family.  I'm happy to say that everyone behaved themselves marvelously.  I've brought someone home before but never someone I cared this much about so I was a little nervous but I don't think it scared him off.  And I think the family liked him.  Good times all around.

I'll be thankful for that!

It's the little things...

I am thankful for the little things in life that make me smile.  It might be the antics of my cat chasing ghosts, Whitman's goofy face, post-it notes, lavender lotion, or sea shells.  I think that we should spend time everyday finding the little things in life that was can take joy in instead of rushing around and worrying all the time.  Life should be enjoyed.  There's nothing more beautiful than the small moments.

Beautiful Colorado!

I am thankful for this beautiful state, Colorado.  I've thought about moving away but something about beautiful Colorado keeps drawing me back.  The mountains really do speak to me.  I'm a Colorado girl through and through and I am thankful that I get to be here in this gorgeous place.

Edumacated!

I'm thankful for my education.  Getting through college was horrible.  My college years were probably the hardest of my life.  However, I am so thankful that I dragged myself through and got that diploma.  I've accomplished something.  It is certainly something to be proud of.  I never thought I would say this, but I am actually thinking about going back to school at some point.  Better myself.
