Another thankful list...

I have a couple of friends who try everyday to post something that they are thankful for. I love reading their posts because it makes me realize how much I really have that I take for granted. Now I'm not going to commit to posting sonething everyday for an entire year (they are truly amazing), but I will take a post here and there to reflect on the things that I feel inspired to share.

I am so thankful that my child is VERY low key. I like to think he got that from me, but honestly, who am I trying to kid? He is Eric in every way...and I love that about him.

The past 3 weeks I have been trying to pre-plan a weekly menu, go grocery shopping specifically for it, and then stick to it. Surprisingly it has gone really well, and I am thankful that I have found a way to help me be more organized (it's budget friendly too)!

I officially finished my second online class a few weeks ago. I got a 98% on the final! I am so thankful for an instructor who very LENIENTLY graded my work. But I am really struggling with my last class. I am having a hard time staying focused and motivated, and as much as I don't WANT to do it, I'm thankful that I have the opportunity to expand my knowledge and learn something that WILL benefit me in the future. I'm trying not to stress that I only have 3 months left to finish it--where have the last 9 months gone--(even though regular students finish multiple classes in 3 months time). KUDOS to all the students out there!

I am so thankful to have friends that are willing to help out when needed. And along the same note, I am so thankful when people ask me for help when they need it. It's so nice to feel like I can contribute a small something to make someone else's life easier.

And lastly, tonight I am especially thankful for an amazing bed that I can crawl into, curl up in, and sleep in until Sawyer gets me up for another day.

Take a few minutes and think about the things that you are thankful for. You might be surprised at what you come up with!
