Feeling thankful

Sometimes....at totally random times...when the house is quiet and I am sitting here alone...I feel thankful. It is so easy to become wrapped up in the stress of the work week. But right now, I am staring at my sleeping puppy and feel totally thankful.

I am thankful for my family. My beautiful sister. My kind brother. My amazing parents. I feel so lucky to have the relationships that I do with each one of them. I always look forward to when we are all together and always enjoy our time shared.

My friends. I am grateful for my friends. At this time in my life, I can honestly say, I have the most friends than I have ever had before. High school friends, college friends, work friends, internet friends. Not everyone has wonderful people in their lives that they can count on. I have so much love and support and consider myself lucky.

And my little family. My wonderful husband and darling puppy. They make my world go round. I need them. It is so nice to know that you have someone on your side at all times to support you, cuddle with you, or give you a kiss (or lick). My heart feels so full right now.

I love quiet Sundays and moments like right now. Where I can sit and reflect, feel thankful for the life I live, and appreciate what is coming my way down the road.

I hope everyone had a great weekend :)

Beautiful post. I have been trying to remind myself to count my blessings lately. I definitely found myself reflecting on the same things this weekend. Well said, Lauren.

Thank YOU, Lauren, I really needed that. I'm sitting here feeling upset and anxious about a combination of work and school, and you've reminded me that everything will work out. I have a lot to be thankful for, and a bad day is not the end of the world. Thanks!

It's always nice to step back and feel content. Keep up this mindset as long as you can!

Great post, Lauren. It really is so important to take a step back.

I personally adore moments like that.
