So Thankful
/I don't know about you kids, but I feel so lucky to have all that I have and to live this beautiful life. Even with everything that's been happening in the world right now, there is so much beauty in every day that sometimes I think I might burst.
To put it simply, this life is pretty darn awesome.
There are a gazillion things that I'm grateful for, and this list barely scrapes the surface. Nevertheless, in honor of Thanksgiving, here's my little list for which I'm constantly thankful:
- The fam. All of 'em.
- My ridiculous, wonderful, loving, selfless, hilarious friends.
- Bicycles.
- Those moments we can set aside our phones and enjoy each other's company.
- Impromptu dance parties.
- The Denver Bicycle Cafe. For reminding me that working at a cafe doesn't have to suck - and in fact, it can be pretty darn rad. Case in point, this.
- Lazy mornings when you can sleep in then watch back-to-back episodes of Bob's Burgers.
- Sweet and passionate kisses.
- Extra large hot water heaters.
- When a song hits me at the very time I need to hear those words.
- The moment I finish reading an amazing book.
- Safety pins.
- Really big hugs.
- Helpful neighbors.
- Snow boots.
- KARAOKE NIGHT.
- Thoughtful gifts.
- People who really listen.
- People embracing (and sharing) their talents.
- Days off.
- Really delicious coffee.
- Shared meals.
- Puppies.
- Shoes I can stand in for hours that don't hurt my feet.
- Police officers, firemen and women, emergency room doctors, nurses, and anyone else working their butt off during the holidays.
- Home.
- All of my friend's beautiful little babies that were born this year.
- Live music.
- Earplugs.
- Laughter that makes me forget anything bad ever happened.
- Hope.
- Movie nights.
- Jokes that land at the perfect moment.
- Park naps on warm summer days.
There's so much more that I could put on this list, but for right now that'll do just fine!
Most of all, I'm thankful every day that I have so many wonderful people (like you) in my life.
Yes, there are terrible, awful things that happen in this world - but let's gather, eat a bunch of food with the people we love, and focus on the good stuff.
Wishing you and your families all a wonderful and beautiful Thanksgiving!
